Giza Pyramids and the Step Pyramid Tour from Sokhna Port

Start your unforgettable Sokhna shore excursion with a warm welcome by one of our expert representatives upon arrival at Sokhna Port. From there, you'll be transported in a modern air-conditioned vehicle to begin your full-day journey through the highlights of ancient Egypt.

Your first stop is the iconic Giza Pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. These legendary structures—built over 4,500 years ago—are the crown jewels of any Egypt tour. Marvel at the Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), the Pyramid of Chephren (Khafre), and the Pyramid of Mycerinus (Menkaure), all designed as royal tombs for Egypt’s powerful pharaohs.

You will also witness the magnificent Great Sphinx, the mystical guardian of the plateau, believed by some to symbolize the strength and wisdom of the Pharaohs. Right beside it lies the Valley Temple, where priests once performed sacred mummification rituals for King Chephren—one of the best-preserved sites in any Egypt shore excursions itinerary.

Take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant, included as part of your Egypt day tour experience. This is a perfect moment to relax before heading to another groundbreaking site in Egypt’s history.

Then, on to Saqqara, scene of the Step Pyramid-a landmark built by an extraordinary architect Imhotep for King Djoser in the late 27th century B.C. Being the first instance of large-scale cut stone construction in Egypt, it marks the advent of pyramid architecture in Egypt and is also regarded as the first stone building in the world. 

The Step Pyramid of Saqqara thus affords rare insight into the early dynastic period of Egypt, which is a major highlight in many of our Egypt tours from Sokhna Port.

After having experienced some of the greatest monuments in the world, sit back as you get transferred to your cruise from Sokhna Port, thereby concluding a day filled to brim with culture as one of our best Sokhna shore excursions.
