What you can expect

Our agents will welcome you with our Meet and Greet service, holding a sign with your name at El Sokhna Port. You will be transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo, a scenic 3-hour drive with stops as needed for rest.

Your first stop is Coptic Cairo, a key destination for pilgrims and tourists, marking a significant chapter in Jesus' early life.

Here, you'll explore the historic Church of St. Sergius, where Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus took refuge in the Crypt, a Cave Sanctuary beneath, during their sojourn to Egypt to escape King Herod's persecution. Entering this sacred sanctuary offers a profound experience few have witnessed.

This area, including the Fort of Babylon, the Church of St. Barbara, the ancient Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the iconic Hanging Church, is a revered pilgrimage destination for Christians worldwide, filled with devotion and spirituality.

Continue to Salah El-Din Citadel, where the iconic Alabaster Mosque dominates Cairo's skyline. Then, stroll through Khan El Khalili and the ancient El Moez Street, lined with centuries-old gates such as Bab El-Fetouh and Bab El-Nasr, and witness the city's rich Islamic heritage.

Venture towards the northern side of the city, in El Darb El Asfar, the oldest quarter of Islamic Cairo. Visit Barqouq Mosque & School, El Aqmar Mosque, the Mosque of El Saleh Tala, the Blue Mosque, the Dome, and the Hospital & School of Qalawoon.

As the evening draws in, your guide will escort you back to your cruise at the port of El Sokhna. This unforgettable journey, steeped in history and spirituality, awaits you with Sun Pyramids Tours.
