Once situated near Mit Rahina, just 20 km south of Giza, this ancient city was the political and cultural center of the kingdom during the Old Kingdom.The open-air museum today features giant statues, temple remnants, and other fascinating objects portraying the splendor of ancient Egyptian civilization.
And then, have a nice lunch break in a local restaurant of distinction, serving many types of genuine Egyptian foods, prepared as well as served fresh with soft drinks so that you get to learn the real taste of Egypt.
Continue on with the Sokhna shore excursion to Sakkara with the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first-ever large-scale stone building in the world. Built in 2737–2717 BC by the great architect Imhotep, the Step Pyramid stands today a testament to revolutionary changes in royal tomb architecture.
Last stop on the itinerary lies in Dahshur, Egypt's fascinating archaeological sites. Here are the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, erected under the reign of King Sneferu, Founder of the 4th Dynasty. These pyramids tell the story of the evolution of pyramid construction as it moved from the early stepped ones to the smooth-sided pyramids of Giza.
The end of this fulfilling day culminates in the drop-off of guests at Sokhna Port for their cruise; another eagle-eyed tour of Egypt summarizing every single aspect of Egyptian ancient heritage.
