Cairo Cultural Day Trip from Sokhna Port

Begin your Egypt shore excursion with warm greetings from our representative at Sokhna Port. The guests will then be taken to Cairo, where ancient wonders and Islamic heritage stand in wait, using a modern air-conditioned vehicle.

The first stop: the famous Grand Egyptian Museum, which boasts the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world! For two hours, travel through a vast span of more than 5,000 years of history, and gaze at treasures belonging to Tutankhamun. From glistening gilded sarcophagi to royal jewels, the museum offers a rare look at the lives of Egypt's greatest pharaohs.

Next on your program for Cairo is the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a medieval fortress situated on an eminence above the city. Here you can enjoy unfettered views over Cairo's skyline, filled with hundreds of minarets. The building of the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali (inside the Citadel) took place in the 19th century in Ottoman style and was inspired by the famous Blue Mosque of Istanbul. Admire the huge dome, lavish decorations, and colorful stained glass windows.

The journey concludes at Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s oldest and most vibrant bazaar. Roam its winding alleys filled with spices, traditional crafts, and souvenirs—soaking in the essence of Egyptian street life.

At the end of this unforgettable Sokhna Port day trip, your guide will accompany you back to your cruise ship, leaving you with timeless memories of one of the best shore excursions from Sokhna.
