Description

'Our agents will warmly welcome you with our Meet and Greet service, holding a sign of your name at EL Sokhna Port upon your cruise ship arrival. Then, you will be transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo, a scenic drive of approximately 3 hours, with a stop if needed to rest. Your exploration begins with a visit to the iconic Pyramids of Giza, including the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. These ancient wonders are a testament to Egypt’s thousands of years of pharaonic civilization. You’ll then proceed to the Great Sphinx of Giza, a monumental limestone statue that depicts a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. Next, you’ll visit the Valley Temple, a mortuary temple in the Pyramids of Giza Complex. This temple, dedicated to Pharaoh Khafre and his family members, was used for the purification of the king’s mummy before burial. Your journey then continues to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where you’ll relive ancient Egypt’s glorious past. Follow your guide around this archaeological treasure trove to see various artifacts from the Pharaonic period, including the complete Tutankhamun collection. At the Grand Egyptian Museum, you’ll get to see: The Hanging Obelisk: A testament to ancient Egyptian architecture. King Ramses II Statue: A tribute to one of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. 10 Statues of King Senusert: A distant view of the legacy of this Middle Kingdom pharaoh. The Grand Staircase: A distant view of this architectural marvel. Ptolemaic King and Queen: A glimpse into the era of Greek rule in Egypt. Victory Column of King Merenptah: A symbol of this pharaoh’s military success. Royal Regalia: A display of the ceremonial attire of ancient Egyptian royalty. The Grand Atrium & Gift Shop: A chance to take a piece of Egypt home with you. As the evening descends, your guide will accompany you back to your cruise ship at the El Sokhna port. Embark on this unforgettable journey with Sun Pyramids Tours and create memories that will last a lifetime!'
