Start your day with a sense of adventure and history as we begin this spiritual journey into the heart of ancient Egypt. Early in the morning, your personal Egyptologist guide will meet you, and you'll set off from Cairo in a comfortable, deluxe air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic drive (around 4 hours) to El Minya.
Step into the world of the revolutionary Pharaoh Akhenaten. Tel Al Amarna was the short-lived capital he built around 1363 BC when he shifted Egypt’s religious focus from multiple gods to the worship of a single deity—Aten, the sun god. Explore the remnants of this bold and unique city, where art, architecture, and belief took a dramatic turn.
Continue your exploration at the Beni Hassan Tombs, a stunning necropolis dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom. Carved into the cliffs overlooking the Nile, these tombs were the final resting places of El Minya’s ancient governors. You’ll see vivid wall paintings, scenes of daily life, and intricate carvings that have amazed travelers and archaeologists alike. With 39 tombs discovered, this site offers a rare and intimate glimpse into Egypt’s provincial past.
Enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant in El Minya, where you can savor authentic Egyptian flavors and recharge before the journey back.
After a day filled with unforgettable discoveries, we'll drive you comfortably back to your hotel in Cairo.
