Upon your arrival at Sokhna Port, our experienced representative will greet you and begin your tour with a visit to the Giza Pyramids. You'll explore the awe-inspiring trio of pyramids, starting with the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the largest, constructed with an astonishing 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing around 2.5 tons.
Next, you'll visit the Pyramid of King Chephren, son of Cheops. This pyramid, with its steeper angles, appears taller than the others, creating an impressive silhouette on the Giza Plateau. Then, you'll see the Pyramid of King Mycerinus, known for the red ochre inscriptions found in its burial chamber, which offer a glimpse into the artistry and intelligence of the ancient sculptors. You'll also encounter the majestic Sphinx, with the body of a lion and the head of a man, standing guard over the pyramids, and visit the Valley Temple, where the mummification of the Pharaoh took place.
For a more relaxing experience, we can include a one-hour Felucca ride on the Nile. This leisurely sail will give you the chance to soak in the serene atmosphere of the river that has been central to Egyptian life and culture for millennia. The Nile, once revered as a divine source of life by the ancient Egyptians, remains a vital part of Egypt’s identity today. For those looking to delve deeper into the rich history of Egypt, our Egypt Day Tours offer even more opportunities to explore this fascinating country.
After your journey through history and culture, you’ll be escorted back to your cruise ship at Sokhna Port.
