Our expert tour leader will greet you at Sokhna Port upon your cruise ship's arrival and will accompany you to your destinations in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle.
Begin your day with a visit to the Giza Pyramids, constructed by the renowned pharaohs of the Old Kingdom's Fourth Dynasty: King Cheops, his successor Chephren, and his grandson Mykerinus. Marvel at the colossal Sphinx of Giza, featuring a man's head and a lion's body. Continue your tour of the pyramids with a visit to the Valley Temple, which was dedicated to the mummification process of the pharaohs.
Mummification, an ancient technique used by royalty and the affluent, was believed to ensure a luxurious afterlife. This intricate process involved the removal of all organs except the heart and was performed exclusively by high priests in the mortuary temples on the west bank of Thebes. Discover more about this fascinating practice through various Luxor day trips.
Next, enjoy a tour of the Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo, which houses the world's most extensive and valuable collection of Egyptian antiquities, artefacts, and jewellery spanning over 6,000 years. Approximately 250,000 masterpieces are on display, including the treasures of Tutankhamun. If time permits, continue to Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s historic bazaar.
Finally, your tour leader will escort you back to Sokhna Port.
