From Sokhna to Cairo: Full-Day Tour of the Pyramids, Museum & Felucca Ride
Overview
Got just one day off the cruise? Make it count with a trip that takes you straight into the heart of Egypt’s past and present. Starting from Sokhna Port, your day begins with a private drive to Cairo — no rush, no big groups, just a smooth ride through the desert toward one of the most famous cities in the world.
First place to visit would be the Giza Plateau. These sights are worth it all: seeing the Pyramids right in front of you. Towering all these millennia known only to gods, the feeling beside them, no picture can convey. There's time to wander around and soak in the views or get a snap with the Sphinx itself.
From there, it was all off to the Egyptian Museum, the real thing. No replicas allowed here. Inside, rooms are filled with ancient items, including some that were found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Whether you are a history buff or just curious, the place makes you stop and bask in it all.
Wrapping up this unforgettable day at the River Nile by going for a relaxing sail aboard a Felucca: a traditional wooden boat. There's no abuse of motors or any disturbance from noise; only the amber sound of lapping water and a gentle breeze caressing one. It is a perfect time to breathe, take in the atmosphere, and reflect upon a day well spent.
This tour is all about balance — hitting the big must-sees while giving you space to enjoy them. It's Cairo in a day, done right.

Itinerary
When you arrive at Sokhna Port, your guide will already be there waiting to show you around on a day full of ancient history and expect local culture. The drive to Cairo is comfortable and smooth, which gives you a chance to relax and perhaps ask your guide a couple of the questions you’ve always wanted to ask about Egypt.
Stop number one: the Pyramids of Giza. There's no comparison to seeing them in person versus what you've seen in pictures. You'll walk between the colossal blocks, look up at the Great Pyramid, and eyeball-to-eyeball with the Sphinx — it's surreal, and even better than you'd imagined.
After immersing ourselves in the wonders of Giza we'll head to lunch at a restaurant that is selected because it is not touristy but real. Think warm bread, fresh ingredients, and real Egyptian hospitality.
And then, the Egyptian Museum. It is a building filled with stories. From ancient mummies to ancient gold, it is where you start linking everything you've seen, heard, or read about Egypt into a coherent historical framework.
To end the day, there’s nothing better than a slow sail on the Nile in a traditional Felucca. No rush. No engine noise.
By the time you're dropped back at the port, you’ll feel like you’ve seen a whole new side of Egypt — one that stays with you.
