A pyramid – packed pit stop that blew our minds Let me tell ya — cruising is fun , but sneaking off to Cairo for this adventure was the real gold . The bus from Sokhna was comfy and clean , and before we knew it , those famous pyramids were staring us down . I was sweating from the sun but smiling the whole time . The museum was cool — literally and historically . Never thought I’d see so much ancient bling in one room . Totally worth trading a pool day for some Pharaoh time
Rufus Dale McKinney –
Short time , big wonders — ancient Egypt in a day Port Sokhna was just the beginning . This trip launched us into the heart of Egypt’s glory in a blink . Giza was jaw – dropping . The pyramids towered like stone skyscrapers , and the Sphinx was chilling in its mystery . But walking into the museum ? Like stepping into a vault of time . From gold to sarcophagi , every step had a story .
Luanne Harper –
Sun , stories and a Sphinx that doesn’t blink From Port Sokhna , the ride into Cairo was swift and scenic . Our guide filled the trip with ancient tales and modern laughs . The pyramids felt like they belonged in a dream — sharp , silent , and just majestic . Sphinx was cool as ever , and the Egyptian Museum was overflowing with golden secrets and statues that seemed to stare back . Never thought one day could hold so much magic .
Bo Hank Garrison –
History hits hard when you see it with your own eyes The bus ride was cool and smooth — a far cry from a dusty camel trail . But once we hit the pyramids , the real journey began . No picture does justice to the scale and mystery of Giza . The Sphinx watched us like a sleepy cat , and the museum ? Felt like an Indiana Jones movie came alive . Never thought I’d enjoy a history lesson this much .
Cora Jean Whitmore –
From sand to stone — exploring Egypt with wide – eyed wonder Who knew ancient ruins could leave you speechless ? From Sokhna port , we zipped to Cairo and were instantly swept into the heart of Egypt . The pyramids stood like giants against the skyline , and I caught myself just staring , mouth open . The museum had mummies that made my skin crawl ( in the best way ) and gold that sparkled like a desert sunrise . Wish I had more hours there , but even a day was enough to fall in love .
Wade Elkins –
When the ancient world photobombs your cruise vacation So there I was , expecting a lazy cruise day , and next thing I know I’m staring down the Sphinx . That face is legendary — and massive . The pyramids ? Mind – boggling . But it was the Egyptian Museum that got me . Seeing Tutankhamun’s treasures up close was unreal . Honestly , this side trip from Sokhna made my whole trip feel epic . Loved the humor and facts from our guide too .
Betty Lynn Hargrove –
Sphinxes , pharaohs and perfect planning made this trip shine We started the day with smooth transport out of Port Sokhna , and I swear the ride was so comfy I almost forgot we were in the middle of the desert . First stop ? The pyramids — bigger , better , and bolder than the photos ever show . Then the Sphinx , all stoic and sandy . The museum was the cherry on top , full of gleaming artifacts and echoes of dynasties . For one day , it sure felt like we touched the soul of Egypt .
Travis Cole Murphy –
From port to past — a speedy journey through time Didn’t think a one – day trip from Port Sokhna could pack in so much , but wow . Our guide whisked us off to Cairo and suddenly we were face – to – face with the Great Pyramids . We wandered around , took a bunch of pics , then dove into the Egyptian Museum where every corner had something insane to stare at . Fast pace , but not rushed . Just the right dash of history , mystery , and good ol’ adventure .

Rolling from Sokhna to Giza with style , stories and sunshine We rolled into Cairo in a sleek little ride that made us feel like desert royalty . Seeing the pyramids had been a dream since grade school , and standing there under that fierce Egyptian sun ? Felt like I’d stepped into history . The Sphinx was just majestic — a stone guardian with that cool , cryptic smile . Museum was jam – packed with shiny artifacts and dusty stories . Loved every second , and even got a few laughs from our guide .
Earl Rayfield –
A whirlwind day of pyramids , pharaohs and pure wonder We hopped off our cruise at Sokhna and dove straight into Egypt’s ancient magic . The Pyramids of Giza were surreal in person — towering , timeless , and flanked by the Sphinx who looked like he knew a few secrets . The Egyptian Museum was a treasure trove of history , with enough mummies and gold to keep us wide – eyed for hours . Our transport was comfy , modern , and air – conditioned ( praise the desert gods ) . It was a fast day , but oh man , did it leave a mark .
Daisy Ann Temple –
The best use of a cruise stop I can think of 🌞 We sailed into Sokhna and got whisked away to Cairo like royalty. Seeing the pyramids in the golden morning light was magical. The guide shared legends and history like a true storyteller. The museum had such a powerful atmosphere, especially around the mummies exhibit. I didn’t expect to be this moved in just one day. So glad we made the journey!
Curtis Lee Padgett –
This trip was a dream tucked into a single day. The Giza Pyramids were enormous and awe-inspiring. I couldn’t stop staring at the limestone blocks and thinking how ancient they were. Our guide was patient, informative, and had a great sense of humor. I loved walking through the Egyptian Museum — it was like taking a stroll through time. The transport was luxurious enough to make us feel like VIPs.
Jo Ella Simmons –
Adventure from sea to sand and back again! The day trip from Port Sokhna to Cairo was seamless. We left early and had a guide waiting for us with a sign. The whole route was well-timed and smooth. We were thrilled by the sight of the Pyramids — it felt like we stumbled into an epic movie set. The museum was well-organized and had an incredible display of sarcophagi and papyrus scrolls. We managed to shop for a few souvenirs too. Felt like a mini-vacation inside our vacation 🧳✨
Eugene Clyde McBride –
Transport was smooth as silk and the views were unforgettable. We had just enough time to take in the pyramids and the museum without feeling rushed. Our guide gave great context to everything we saw, which made the experience feel personal. The highlight for me? Seeing the Sphinx in person — it looked straight out of a movie set. Even the journey itself was part of the fun, with snacks and Egyptian music playing in the van.
Fern Dale Hawkins –
One heck of a detour — in the best way possible! While our cruise ship sat in Sokhna, we snuck off to Cairo and were instantly mesmerized. The Giza Pyramids were more massive than I imagined, and the Sphinx had this mysterious aura around it. The museum was a deep dive into pharaoh life, and our guide made it fun with little jokes and curious facts. The ride back was peaceful and scenic, and I even napped on the way. 10/10 use of a cruise layover 😄
Cletus M. Rowland –
The fastest trip to ancient glory I’ve ever taken. From the port to the pyramids in no time, with all the essentials covered. Our guide was funny and full of interesting trivia. The weather was mild in February, so it was perfect for walking around. I took more photos here than the rest of the cruise combined! The museum was like walking through the pages of a history book. I didn’t expect to see a real mummy — that was the coolest surprise.
Nora Belle Whittaker –
History lessons never looked this good 😍 Our group of four got to see the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and even some ancient statues I recognized from my school books. It’s wild seeing these things in real life. The guide made it feel like an adventure rather than just a lecture. The museum was a goldmine — I loved the ancient jewelry and tools on display. If Ancient Egypt had a fan club, I’d be president by now!
Virgil D. Foster –
Luxury meets legends on this well-organized day tour. From the comfy air-conditioned ride to a lunch with Nile views, the whole day was crafted for comfort and culture. The pyramids were gigantic and jaw-dropping, but my favorite part was the Egyptian Museum. I could’ve spent all day exploring the mummies section. We felt safe, well-fed, and blown away by the magic of it all.
Martha Jane Corley –
One day in Egypt and we saw a thousand years of glory. Our Cairo trip from Sokhna was fast-paced but surprisingly smooth. The pyramids were mind-blowing, and we loved seeing the Great Sphinx up close. The guide explained the symbolism in a way that even our teenagers found fascinating. We only had one day but made it count! Also, the van was very clean and had Wi-Fi — that was a huge win!
Raymond Buckner –
A surreal morning with the pyramids, and back by dinner! We took the Cairo & Pyramids Trip from Port Sokhna while our ship docked, and wow — it felt like stepping straight into history. The transport was modern, cool and on time, and our guide kept us energized with stories and laughter all the way to Cairo. Standing in front of the Sphinx felt completely unreal, like we were in a dream. The Egyptian Museum was a treasure chest of ancient wonders — seeing King Tut’s gold mask in person was unforgettable. This wasn’t just a sightseeing stop, it was a time-travel sprint to Ancient Egypt.
