Dahshur Pyramids & Felucca Ride Excursion from Sokhna Port

Overview

You will have a beautiful trip today from Sokhna Port is planned, unleashing an itinerary that assures sightseeing tales about two very authentic Egypt experiences-the lesser-known pyramid presence of Dahshur and a serene sail on the Nile with views. Dahshur is suspended from the crowd to let you gaze at the almost forgotten; the extraordinary Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, gained from an era far preceding even the Great Pyramids of Giza and yet equally enriching to admire. Wandering around these monuments, you will deductively feel the desert's empty hush and get a bit of the faintories about the experiments of design carried out by engineers thousands of years ago leading to the present design of pyramids. Your guide will narrate how the strange angles came about, why the limestone has its reddish hue and about the Pharaohs who stamped their mark on here.

After exploring Dahshur, the journey shifts from sand to water. You’ll head to the Nile for a traditional felucca ride. These wooden sailing boats have glided across the river for centuries, and stepping aboard one is like stepping back in time. As the sail catches the wind, you’ll drift along the calm waters, away from the noise of the city. It’s the perfect moment to relax, take photos, and watch daily life unfold on the riverbanks — fishermen casting their nets, children waving from the shore, palm trees swaying gently in the breeze.

This activity combines history with calmness, so you get the thrills of finding hidden pyramids and the simple pleasure of sailing down the Nile. It is never rushed, never crowded — an authentic day in Egypt to return to your ship with your own stories, memories, and photos.

Itinerary

When you step off your cruise at Sokhna Port your journey begins! Your guide and driver will be waiting for you. A private air-conditioned vehicle will take you toward Cairo, away from the Red Sea coastline toward the significant desert landscape of Dahshur, a destination less visited than Giza, which gives you room to absorb the location.

You can find two amazing pyramids here: the Bent Pyramid, which has an cheated angle halfway up and also a bent angle; and the Red Pyramid, with its limestone glowing warm and lustrous. Both were built before Giza's Great Pyramid and they were key stepping stones in Egypt's experimentation in construction. Passing around these monuments with less of a crowd gives you an opportunity to feel more connected with the past.

After the Dahshur experience, things will slow down because it's time to head to the Nile for something completely different - a felucca ride! Feluccas are traditional wooden sailing boats that have conveyed people across the river for centuries with their broad white sails.

The tempo here is leisurely, simply the route and the joy of the breeze catching the sail and the sound of the river lap against the boat. As you drift, you will observe daily life on the river banks - fishermen fishing, children playing, palm groves swaying.

You will be offered lunch during the course of the day as well and you can have a taste of the Egyptian flavors to recharge before the return drive. As the day comes to an end, your driver will take you back in comfort to Sokhna Port, where your ship will be waiting.

On the way, you’ll have a chance to look back on real egypt — the silence of the desert surrounding Dahshur, the striking shapes of the Bent and Red Pyramids rising from the sand, and the gentle moments spent sailing on the Nile.

By the time you step aboard your cruise ship again, you won’t just be returning from a tour, but carrying with you the memory of standing at the very feet of Egypt’s ancient pyramids, an image that will stay with you long after the journey is over.
the image of floating along the Nile with open skies above producing experiences that you won't forget.
