After being picked up by your professional tour guide from Sokhna Port, you'll be driven in a modern air-conditioned vehicle for the unforgettable Sokhna shore excursion. First, head to the world-famous Giza Plateau to see the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinos. These are one of the most celebrated wonders of the ancient world and an absolute must on any Egypt tour.
Then you'll visit the Valley Temple of King Chephren, where priests once carried out mummification rites. Nearby, stand in awe before the Great Sphinx, the legendary guardian with the body of a lion and the head of King Chephren, silently protecting the funerary complex for well over 4,500 years. Have lunch at an Egyptian restaurant and try local specialties before resuming your trip.
After lunch, you’ll head to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, founded around 3100 BC. Here you’ll see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the impressive Alabaster Sphinx, both testaments to the grandeur of Egypt’s Old Kingdom.
Your final stop will be at Sakkara, located just 27 km southwest of Cairo. Visit the legendary Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the oldest stone structure in history. This pyramid marks a critical moment in architectural evolution, transitioning from the simple mastaba to the fully developed pyramid shape we know today.
At the final run of your shore excursion to Egypt, it will be the snug cruise back to Sokhna Port.
