This tour promises to be a memorable adventure, offering one of the most stunning Sokhna shore excursions as it takes you through centuries of history and culture.
Then, after moving from Sokhna Port, we will head to our first stop, which is Cairo. And we will start our adventure by visiting the Giza pyramids. The most peculiar theories surrounding the wonders of the pyramids suggest that they function as time machines or gateways to other dimensions and worlds. The theories suggest that the pyramids were built to facilitate connections with higher entities, provide access to ancient knowledge, or even allow travel to different worlds of existence. These ideas often relate to beliefs surrounding the spiritual power of the structures. This iconic destination is a must-see on all Egypt tours, especially those offering shore excursions from Sokhna Port.
Then our next stop will be the Egyptian Museum. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, established in 1902, houses over 120,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the famous treasures of King Tutankhamun, making it one of the world’s largest archaeological museums. It is a very important stop on many Egypt shore excursions; the museum is a treasure house of Pharaonic antiquities.
After that amazing visit to the museum, we will move to Old Cairo, and you will be visiting Islamic sites such as Amr ibn Al-As Mosque and Christian sites in Cairo such as the Hanging Church. This Cairo tour from Sokhna Port lets you dive deep into Egypt’s religious history and cultural connection.
After all these consecutive adventures, you will feel hungry. So we will move to the nearest restaurant to have a delicious lunch to refill your energy once again so you can continue your exciting adventure. Khan al-Khalili is a bustling marketplace located in the heart of Islamic Cairo, offering a wide range of traditional Egyptian goods such as jewellery, spices, textiles, and antique items. It is a true gem included in many of our Ain Sokhna Port excursions.
Your next destination will be Al-Muizz Street. In Cairo, Egypt, El-Mu'izz Street ranks as one of the oldest and most important thoroughfares. It is a bustling road in the heart of Islamic Cairo, known for its beautiful Islamic architecture as well as its historical and cultural value. The street has the name of Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah, the Fatimid Caliph, who was instrumental in the founding of the Fatimid Caliphate in Cairo in the tenth century. You must visit this place; no Egypt tour is complete without a stroll through this magical area.
Then you will enjoy a delicious dinner on a Nile cruise while watching the shows in the middle of the Nile River. It is a fantastic way to conclude one of the most amazing and memorable shore excursions from Sokhna Port.
