A day tour from Sokhna port to pyramids & Nile cruise dinner

Our tour leader will meet and greet you at Sokhna Port to begin your historic adventure in Cairo, which is home to many historical landmarks and is known for its most famous sites. We will transfer you from Sokhna Port to Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle, beginning one of the most amazing shore excursions that captures the spirit of Egypt.

Giza Pyramids:
Our first stop will be the Giza Pyramids. One of the most unusual theories surrounding the Giza pyramids is that metal and tools do not corrode when placed inside them. According to various personal accounts, metal objects such as cables, razor blades, or tools tend to remain rust-free and unaffected by corrosion when stored within the pyramids. It is said that the pyramid shape reduces oxidation. Karel Drbal, a Czech inventor, claimed in the 1950s that razor blades kept inside a cardboard pyramid would sharpen rather than rust. For the design, he even obtained a patent. This attraction is a must-see on Egypt shore excursions from Sokhna Port, making it one of the most iconic landmarks on all Egypt tours.

Saqqara:
South of Cairo lies the ancient necropolis of Saqqara. It is most famous for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt's oldest pyramid, which was constructed between 2667 and 2648 BCE. For thousands of years, it has been used as a cemetery and is home to several tunnels, temples, and underground rooms. The Step Pyramid was created by architect Imhotep, who has been identified as the first architect and doctor in history.

Old Cairo:
You will visit Islamic sites such as the Amr ibn Al-'Ass Mosque and Christian sites in Cairo such as the Hanging Church. These historical and cultural sites are important stops on many of our shore excursions from Sokhna Port.
Next, we will go to a restaurant for lunch to recollect our powers before continuing our visits.

Khan El Khalili Bazaar:
A maze of little lanes, brilliant lanterns, and voices haggling beneath historic archways can be found in the center of Cairo's Islamic neighbourhood, where time seems to bend in on itself. This is Egypt's most famous marketplace, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where for more than six centuries, trade, culture, and mysticism have flourished alongside one another.

Al Muizz Street:
Al-Muizz Street, known as the world's largest open museum of Islamic antiquities, features numerous historic mosques, schools, fountains, palaces, two agencies, three corners, two gates, and two restrooms, along with an archaeological treasure. One of the most interesting stops on any day trip from Ain Sokhna Port to Egypt is to see this street.

Following that, you will be taken to enjoy a delicious meal on a Nile boat while taking in the performances in the middle of the great Nile. This is the ideal way to finish off a full-day shore tour in Egypt.
