Itinerary
First, your tour guide leader will pick you up at the Sokhna Port exit door in Ain Sokhna. Then, he will transfer you to Cairo. When you get to Cairo, you'll go to some of the major sights as part of this unique Egypt shore excursion.
Your first stop will be a visit to the necropolis of Dahshour, one of Giza's quieter but no less important monuments to visit. The distance to the Giza pyramids is 23 kilometres. In Dahshur, there were three pyramids built by King Snefru. King Sneferu (also spelled Snofru) was the first pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt’s Old Kingdom. He founded these three pyramids: the tiny Ka pyramid, the Red pyramid, and the Bent pyramid. Between the Step Pyramid and the Great Pyramid, the pyramids serve as a transition. You will get to know more about the Bent Pyramid's unique shape and the cause of its structure. The pyramid grew in size and shape. Enjoy exploring those pyramids on this wonderful Dahshur pyramids tour, and go inside to view each one. (The Pyramids entry requires extra fees.)
The Red Pyramid does not contain a cult pyramid, in contrast to other Fourth Dynasty pyramids. This section might have been left out because the neighbouring Leaning Pyramid of Sneferu replaced it as a representation of a southern tomb. As one of the many unique stops on your Egypt tour, Cheap Giza Pyramids Budget Tours offers fantastic tours to see more of the temple road, even though the remains have not yet been discovered. However, it was undoubtedly intended to be between the mortuary temple and the valley. This might not have been started, though, or even finished. A bigger brick structure, containing workshops, was located southeast of the complex. There, kiln remnants were also discovered.
Then, you will be transferred to enjoy a quiet and scenic felucca ride in Cairo, which is a must-do experience among the top Egypt tours. A felucca is a traditional wooden sailboat that has sailed the Nile River for centuries. This relaxing ride offers a unique view of the city, blending its rich history with the magic of modern Cairo. You’ll witness breathtaking views of the Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the fantastic city skylines. This peaceful journey is not only a cultural experience but also a special highlight of your Cairo tour from Sokhna Port.
After that, we will enjoy lunch at a nice local restaurant. Then, at the end of your amazing Egypt day tour, you will be transferred back to Ain Sokhna Port, completing one of the most memorable shore excursions from Sokhna Port.
