Itinerary
We will pick you up from Ein El Sokhna Port in the early morning. Then, you will be driven in an air-conditioned car to Cairo for an amazing memory lasting adventure, a Cairo day tour from Sokhna Port, one of our best rated Egypt shore excursions.
Starting our tour by visiting the Giza Pyramids, the plateau has astronomical alignments, and the pyramids are aligned almost perfectly with the constellation Orion’s Belt. The limestone casing that once covered the pyramids was polished and white, making them shine brightly in the sun. In addition, the boat pits found beside the pyramids contained dismantled ceremonial boats believed to transport the pharaoh to the afterlife. This iconic site is a highlight of any Egypt tour. Next, we continue our Cairo tours to the Valley Temple. The Valley Temple is located next to the Great Sphinx and near the Pyramid of Khafre on the Giza Plateau. It was built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom, around 2600 BC, for Pharaoh Khafre. The temple served as the place where the pharaoh's body was purified and mummified before burial in the pyramid. This part of the journey makes this Sokhna shore excursion truly exciting.
Then, we will head to Coptic Cairo. After that, we will go to Cairo to see amazing structures like the Hanging Church. It is located in Old Cairo, near the Coptic Museum and the Babylon Fortress. The church is called “Hanging” because it was built above a Roman gatehouse, suspended over the southern gate of the old Babylon Fortress. The church dates back to the 3rd century AD, but most of its current structure was rebuilt in the 9th century.
It was built above the cave where the Holy Family sought refuge in the basilica style. Then, visit the Amr Ibn El-Aas Mosque, Egypt's earliest mosque. The mosque was founded in 641–642 CE by General "Amr ibn al-Āṣ", following the Arab Islamic conquest of Egypt. It was located at the site of his original army tent in Fustat, Egypt’s first Islamic capital. It holds the distinction of being the first mosque in Egypt and the entire continent of Africa.
