Half-Day Tour to Saqqara and Dahshur Pyramids from Sokhna Port

Upon your arrival at Sokhna Port, your personal guide will meet you and escort you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your unforgettable Sokhna shore excursion.

First stop, we'll head to Saqqara, where you'll explore the remarkable Step Pyramid of King Djoser—the very oldest stone structure in the world and first royal tomb ever built. Constructed during 2737–2717 BC under the direction of the architect Imhotep, this monument is one amongst the greatest landmarks in the architectural history of Egypt. Truly, it is a shining jewel of the complete Egypt tour.

After this, you would be off to Dahshur, a fascinating archaeological site in Egypt. Here, you would witness the eccentric Bent Pyramid and the royal Red Pyramid, both erected in the days of King Sneferu, the 4th dynasty's founding father. These works of art go a long way in representing major steps in pyramid construction and must be seen on any genuine Egypt shore excursion.

Your Sokhna trip concludes luxuriously with drops at your cruise ship as you head back, laden with the immense appreciation for the incredible history and the wonders of ancient Egypt.
