Details:
Begin your day with a morning departure as your personal Egyptologist collects you from your Cairo hotel in a private, deluxe air-conditioned vehicle for an approximately 4-hour drive to El Minya.

Lunch Time
Next, you will have a delicious lunch at a reputable restaurant.
Following lunch, your journey will proceed with visits to the following locations:
Tuna El Gabal
This ancient archaeological site served as the burial ground for the ancient city of Hermopolis. Tuna El Gabal was also a center of worship dedicated to Thoth, the god of wisdom. The most notable tomb to visit in the necropolis is that of Petosiris, a devoted priest of the god Thoth.

Begin your day with breakfast, followed by a pick-up from your tour guide in a modern private car to proceed with your journey to El Minya:
Beni Hassan Tombs
It is among the most remarkable burial sites. Dating back to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the tombs of Beni Hassan served as the final resting places for the governors of El Minya during the 11th and 12th dynasties. Unlike most ancient Egyptian tombs, the Beni Hassan tombs are located on the east bank of the Nile.
Lunch Time
Let's have lunch at a nearby restaurant, followed by a visit to:
Tel Al Amarna
It is one of the Nile Valley's hidden gems, established by Pharaoh Akhenaton in 1363 BC as his new capital following his decision to reform Egypt's religious system by unifying all Egyptian deities into a single god, Aten, the sun god.
Finally, you will be transported back to your hotel in Cairo in a climate-controlled vehicle.
