Overview
Visiting Egypt means encountering numerous well-known landmarks that you should see and visit. These sites are: the Giza Pyramids, Sakkara, Egyptian museums and riding a Felucca on the Nile. One of our Sokhna shore excursions must include a tour of the Giza pyramids. They are located on the Giza Plateau, just outside Cairo, Egypt, and they were built during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty, around 2600–2500 BCE. The complex consists of three main pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and the only remaining wonder of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It originally stood at 146.6 meters (481 feet) tall, but now reaches about 138.8 meters due to the loss of the outer casing stones. Sakkara, also known as Saqqara, is a significant historical archaeological site in Egypt. Saqqara is an ancient burial ground located about 30 kilometres south of Cairo, Egypt. It served as the necropolis for the ancient capital of Memphis, making it one of the oldest and most important archaeological sites in Egypt.
The site is best known for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest known pyramid in Egypt, built around 2650 BCE. After experiencing this amazing adventure, you will have a quiet and beautiful Felucca boat ride. Choosing this well-designed tour from Sokhna Port will provide you with this great experience.
