Stunning Day Tour to Memphis, and Dahshor from Sokhna Port

Your English-speaking tour guide will meet you at Sokhna Port and take you to Cairo to begin your fascinating journey through Egypt.

Your first destination will be Memphis, a site of great importance in early Egyptian history. Memphis was once a major center for craftsmanship and sculpture, known for producing some of the most renowned statues and structures of the Old Kingdom. You will have the opportunity to visit its outdoor museum, which features special artifacts, including pieces from the colossal temples that once stood in this bustling capital, as well as a large alabaster sphinx.

You will next proceed to Dahshur, a less crowded and more serene pyramid field south of Cairo.  This location provides a distinctive perspective on the development of pyramid architecture.  The Red Pyramid, with its precise angles and enormous size, marks a significant progress in pyramid construction, whereas the Bent Pyramid displays an early testing phase.  In addition to offering a closer look at pyramid construction than the more well-known sites in Giza, these monuments collectively demonstrate the inventiveness and aspirations of ancient Egyptian architects. 

Take a quiet Felucca ride on the Nile River to finish off your trip. You will float on the calm waters while admiring expansive vistas of the Cairo skyline. This calm sailing experience gives you a peaceful chance to take in the wonders of Egypt and is the ideal way to cap off a day of exploration.

One of the most interesting and educational day tours from Sokhna to Cairo will finish with your transfer back to your ship at Sokhna Port following your cruise.
