Amazing Day tour to Pyramids, Saqqara & Islamic Cairo from Sokhna Port
Overview
This day tour offers the opportunity to visit some of Cairo's most famous landmarks, including the Ibn Tulun Mosque and the Gayer Anderson Museum. The Ibn Tulun Mosque features a spiral minaret inspired by the Great Mosque of Samarra in Iraq. An outdoor staircase wraps around the minaret, showcasing a distinctive architectural style for Cairo. Notably, the mosque was constructed primarily from brick and plaster rather than stone, which was uncommon at the time. This mosque has served not only as a place of worship but also as a communal hub for generations. The Pyramids of Giza are an architectural marvel of ancient Egypt.
The Pyramids of Giza, located on the Giza Plateau just outside Cairo, are one of the world's most famous landmarks and the final of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were built during the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (c. 2600-2500 BC) and served as massive tombs for the pharaoh. As part of your Egypt shore excursion, you will have the opportunity to explore the Giza Pyramids and visit the majestic Sphinx, which has protected the site for over 4500 years. This full-day journey from Sokhna Port to Giza Pyramids allows you to discover more than just ancient wonders.
Visit Saqqara, one of Egypt's oldest archeological sites. Saqqara is an important historical site with some of the most impressive temples and pyramids ever built. The Pyramid of Djoser, widely regarded as Egypt's oldest pyramid, is a highlight of our Egypt trips for people seeking authentic and instructive experiences.
Whether you're interested in history, culture, or spiritual architecture, this one-of-a-kind Sokhna shore tour combines the best of ancient Egypt with professional supervision and convenient transportation from Ain Sokhna Port.

Itinerary

Admire its massive structure and learn about the amazing engineering that made it possible more than 4,500 years ago. As you travel to the Pyramid of Khafre, which may be easily recognized by the remains of its original limestone coating at the top, learn about the mysteries of the neighbouring temples. The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, is the next stop. It has a magical history. Your tour will also include a visit to the ancient Great Sphinx, which has been guarding the plateau for thousands of years with the body of a lion and the face of a king. You will hear amazing stories from your guide about the mysteries and meaning. Among all the excursions of Egypt, this one from Sokhna Port to the Giza Pyramids is the most stunning.
The Step Pyramid in Saqqara is one of the most popular, because it served as the ancient Kingdom's royal burial place until the third dynasty, and also a highlight of most Egypt shore tours.
As part of your tour, you will also go to Gayer-Anderson's home. Anderson led a colourful life as an adventurer, surgeon, soldier, collector, dilettante, lover, and beauty preserver. The most famous item he owned was an extinct cat. The Mosque of Ibn Tulun is one of Egypt's most beautiful masterpieces of Islamic architecture and the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area.
The journey will then be exciting and enjoyable as you are transported back to your cruise ship in Sokhna Port, marking the end of a unique shore excursion in Sokhna.
