Itinerary
Upon arrival to Sokhna Port, your professional tour guide will warmly greet you and get you set for your unforgettable Egypt shore excursion to the ancient wonders of Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur.
Starting your tour in Memphis, the first capital of Ancient Egypt. This site is located near Mit Rahina, which is 12 miles south of Giza. At the time of the Old Kingdom, Memphis was the leading city of Egypt. Presently, the open museum displays colossal statues, temple ruins, and interesting artifacts pertaining to Egypt's ancient glory.
Then after your tour, you will be taken for that long-awaited break for lunch, where you will enjoy some good Egyptian dishes in a reputable local restaurant: freshly cooked, traditional dishes to go with soft drinks.
Continue your Sokhna shore excursion to Sakkara and witness the famous Step Pyramid of King Djoser. This great monument was erected between 2737 and 2717 BC by Imhotep, the famous architect; and it is considered to be the world’s first monumental stone structure and the beginning of pyramid building in Egypt.
Dahshur is the last point on the itinerary. It is a less traveled, yet equally compelling site of excavation. Here one can admire the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both being constructions of King Sneferu of the 4th Dynasty. These pyramids showcase modifications in the design and engineering of pyramids that would lead to the placing of the Great Pyramids on Giza.
After a day full of exploration, culture, and awe-inspiring history, you’ll return comfortably to your cruise ship at Sokhna Port, carrying with you the timeless memories of this expertly guided Egypt tour.
