Itinerary

  • Your Love Egypt Tours representative will be waiting for you at Ain El Sokhna Port near the cruise exit, holding a sign with your name for easy identification. You will then be transferred in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo, a journey of approximately 1.5 hours.

Start your adventure with a panoramic view of the legendary Giza Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus. Continue to the Great Sphinx, the iconic statue with a pharaoh’s head and lion’s body dating back to the reign of Chephren, followed by a visit to the Valley Temple, part of the ancient pyramid complex.

  • Enjoy lunch at a local Egyptian restaurant before heading to the world-famous Egyptian Museum, home to over 250,000 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of history. Discover priceless treasures, including the golden collection of King Tutankhamun, preserved for over 3,500 years before its discovery in the 1920s.

If time allows, end your journey with a visit to the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar, one of Cairo’s oldest and most famous markets, perfect for souvenirs and local culture.

After the tour, you will be driven back to Ain El Sokhna Port in time to rejoin your cruise ship.

Note:

Upon arrival at the port, a complimentary shuttle bus will take you from the cruise ship to the main gate (around 800 meters). Your Love Egypt Tours representative will meet you there to begin your tour smoothly and comfortably.
