Sokhna Port Tour: Giza Pyramids Camel & Traditional Felucca
Overview
Sokhna Port Tour: Giza Pyramids Camel & Traditional Felucca
Arriving at Sokhna Port is more than a simple docking at the Red Sea – it is the beginning of one of the greatest excursions in Egypt. With only one day to spare, you are welcoming history, and the River Nile, the most stunning waterway on the planet. This shore excursion from Sokhna Port to Cairo will take you to the well-known Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, will have you riding a camel across the desert for the experience of a lifetime, and will close with an idyllic traditional Felucca sailing excursion on the Nile.
Journey from Sokhna Port to Cairo
Your journey begins after your cruise ship has anchored. A personable Cairo Top Tours representative will meet you upon disembarkment, and provide a private, air-conditioned vehicle for the drive towards Cairo. This drive is an adventure in itself. You will go from the tranquil waters of Sokhna and ride off into the desert space before the skyline of Cairo will meet your eyes.
Discover the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx
Most certainly. A moment you will always remember is standing in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Khufu. These monuments are over 4,500 years old, and they are still the most recognized symbols of Ancient Egypt. Nearby, the Great Sphinx looks over the plateau as a mysterious protecter carved from solid limestone. Your Egyptologist guide will tell stories that will turn these sites into memories, including the pharaonic rituals, royal power, and the mysteries of pyramid-building.
Camel Ride by the Pyramids
Few things can be more authentic than taking a camel ride across the sands of Giza. The one hour camel ride will be just as fun as offer some sense of how the ancients traveled across the desert. It is also a great opportunity for glorious pictures.
Felucca Sailing on the Nile
Following your excursion to see the pyramids, you will enjoy the slower pace of your day as you step aboard a traditional wooden Felucca boat. Feluccas have been sailing along the Nile for centuries. You will be on the water for an hour enjoying the breeze and the gentle flow of the river, taking in the sights of Cairo from a distinct vantage point along the riverbank. Let your mind and body slow down in silence as you enjoy the peaceful respite from the energy of the city and the timelessness of the desert.
