Your Egypt shore excursion from Ain Sokhna Port to the Giza Pyramids and Nile River promises a mesmerizing journey through Egypt's timeless history and culture. Upon arrival, your professional guide will warmly greet you at Sokhna Port and take you on this unforgettable experience.
Start the morning by walking beside the Renowned Pyramids of Giza, imbibing the enormity and regal ancient majesty of such architecture. The highest Pyramid of Cheops, constructed with around 2.3 million blocks of limestone, each weighing almost 2.5 tons, stands an engineering marvel.
Afterwards, you will move on to the equally fascinating Pyramid of King Chephren, whose steep sides and raised height give it a dominating presence among the pyramids. Your tour will then proceed to King Mycerinus' Pyramid, where inscribed artifacts testify to the remarkable talent and ingenuity of ancient Egyptian sculptors.
A Giza Pyramids tour just cannot go by without a visit to the world-famous Great Sphinx, that inscrutable protector with a lion's body and a human head. Here in the vicinity, you will also visit the Valley Temple, which is reputed to have been at the heart of the pharaohs' mummification rituals.
After your exploration, chill out on a calm and peaceful one-hour felucca ride alongside the Nile, sightseeing through landscapes of the most iconic waterway of Egypt. The Nile has always constituted the heart of Egyptian civilization, as it was worshipped in ancient times and cherished even today.
For those with an itch to go a little deeper, go for the optional Coptic Cairo Tour, visiting the oldest Christian churches in Egypt and exploring the deeper spiritual veins of this country.
Your guide will ensure you go back to your cruise ship from Sokhna Port, with a memory bank filled with an extraordinarily happy day stewing in the marvels of ancient Egypt. Whether for a first time or for the thousandth, such an Egypt tour is never really forgotten.
