Overview
Excursion to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur from Sokhna Port
You get the rarest chance to brush at the ancient Egyptian past with an exclusive excursion to Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur from Sokhna Port. The tour offers an incredible experience in another unique archaeology site, some of the earliest significant ones used for the origins of pyramid construction as well as for the grandeur of Egypt's first capital.
Hidden Gems of Dahshur
Your adventure begins with an exploration of Dahshur, where some of the most incredible pyramids of Egypt can be found. Visit the Bent Pyramid, which is an architectural marvel realized by Pharaoh Sneferu, showing a most unusual angle change that makes it unique. Only a few steps away you can see the Red Pyramid, the very first successful smooth-sided pyramid, that laid the groundwork for the Great Pyramid of Giza. With the chance to go in its ancient chambers, you will come into an immersion in history.
Visit the Step Pyramid of Sakkara
Proceed to Sakkara, the largest and most historically important necropolis within Egypt. The Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world's very first pyramid, was a revolutionary architectural work designed by the mythical Imhotep. The tombs around it would have remarkably preserved engravings and hieroglyphics, which illustrate scenes of everyday life in ancient Egypt. As you walk around, your Egyptologist guide will be revealing interesting historical facts regarding the sacred site.
Taking a Trip to Memphis-the Former Capital of Egypt
Next, you shall set out for Memphis, the erstwhile city of Egypt and a city which has proved itself to be a very powerful center in culture and politics over several centuries. Although, very little remains of the site, this Open-Air Museum contains some of the most amazing of the relics, such as the giant statue of Ramses II and Alabaster Sphinx, which are the masterpieces created in ancient Egyptian craftsmanship. The former was revered as a god, whereas the latter was a beautifully carved limestone monument that once served as a guardian of the city's temples.
Take a Traditional Egyptian Lunch
After collecting all these legendary sites, the next step is moving to lunch at a local restaurant enjoying delicious meals such as traditional Egyptian cuisine while still reflecting on the monumental event you have just experienced.

Itinerary
Relax and unwind while you pick your journey up with pickup from the cruise ship at Ain Sokhna port. Meet up with your professional Egyptologist guide and board a private, air-conditioned vehicle to transfer you comfortably to Cairo, where you will visit some of the most ancient sites in Egypt.
Upon reaching Dahshour, you will find one of the greatest treasures of Egypt: the site of the earliest constructions of pyramids, where you can visit the remarkable Bent Pyramid, made by Pharaoh Sneferu. Note its unusual change in the angle, making it different from other pyramids. Not far from here is the Red Pyramid, the first pyramid with smoothly sloping surfaces, which later became the model for the great pyramid at Giza. If you feel like it, you may enter the chambers inside the pyramid and know it more closely through experience.
From here, go to Sakkara. It is a vast necropolis with the oldest pyramid of Egypt, the Step Pyramid of Djoser. This wonder was created by the legendary architect Imhotep, founder of this revolutionary architectural aspect in ancient Egypt. Stroll through the many tombs that have detailed hieroglyphics adorning their walls and pictures of lifestyles, giving a hint of what it was like back then. Your guide narrates the historical importance of this sacred ground that served as burial grounds for Egyptian royalties and nobles.
Then on, the journey is towards Memphis, the former capital of ancient Egypt and once an important center of power and culture. Visit the Memphis Open-Air Museum, where the findings include the grand statue of Ramses II, which exhibits the splendor of craftsmanship in ancient times. Wonder at the Alabaster Sphinx, a finely carved monument in limestone, and engage in discussions on the contributions of Memphis towards Egyptian civilization.
Then at last, you will have a chance to enjoy a great lunch at a typical local restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Egyptian recipes in a very casual atmosphere after all your visits are over.
Before you go back to Sokhna Port, take a quick stop at a local bazaar, where you can browse and shop for gifts, hand-made works, and original Egyptian artifacts.
Finally, recline at rest while traveling back to your cruise ship, filled with thoughts of the wonderful sights and stories you will carry with you from your tour into the ancient past of Egypt. This entire tour is planned around delving into the origins of pyramid building and the glory of Egypt's first capital.
