Itinerary
The start of your adventure is marked by arriving at Sokhna Port, greeted by your personal guide and chauffer. From there, the journey goes on inside a comfortable air-conditioned car toward Cairo, an awesome amalgamation of desert scenery flirting with small town vistas.
Once in Cairo, your first stop is the Giza Plateau. Nothing prepares you for your first real look at the Great Pyramid. Standing beneath it, the size and age of the stones hit you. Your guide will walk you through the fascinating history of the pyramids and the Sphinx, and you’ll have time to explore, take photos, or simply take it all in.
After the pyramids, it's time to head into the heart of the city for a well-earned lunch at a local restaurant — clean, authentic, and full of flavor. You’ll get a real taste of Egyptian cuisine while taking a short break from the sun.
Next is the Egyptian Museum, situated at Tahrir Square. It houses ancient statuary, golden treasures, and stories from centuries in every room. Your guide will pinpoint the highlights but allows for some free time on your own.
To end your day, unwind with a peaceful Felucca ride on the Nile. These traditional wooden sailboats offer a quiet moment away from the city noise. Just the wind, the water, and a new perspective on Cairo.
Afterward, your driver will take you back to Sokhna Port, returning in time for your cruise departure — with a camera full of memories and a head full of stories.
