While your vessel rests in Sokhna, venture to Cairo to explore the Giza Pyramids, a newly uncovered passage, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum's priceless artifacts.
Our representative will pick you up from Ein El Sokhna port for an unforgettable Cairo day trip. You will travel to Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle, with scenic views of the Giza Pyramids—Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus—en route. One of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 21st century is the recently uncovered secret passage, dating back 4,500 years. Measuring 9 meters long and 2 meters wide, it offers new insights into King Khufu's pyramid and its construction.
Next, visit the Great Sphinx, with its iconic pharaoh’s head and lion's body, which dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Chephren.
Lunch will be served at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine. Afterward, continue to the Egyptian Museum, home to one of the world's most extensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts. The museum showcases over 250,000 items, including an impressive collection of rare, 5,000-year-old art. Among its treasures is the exhibition dedicated to Tutankhamun, which includes the famous golden burial mask, jewels, and other priceless artifacts that were sealed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before it was discovered in the 1920s.
Following the tour, return to El Sokhna port to rejoin your cruise, with lasting memories of the ancient wonders you've experienced.
