Itinerary
Travel south from Cairo to discover two of Middle Egypt's most fascinating archaeological treasures. Begin at Tell el-Amarna, the short-lived capital founded by Pharaoh Akhenaten during Egypt's 18th Dynasty, where you'll explore the ancient city and its royal tombs while learning about one of history's most remarkable religious revolutions. Continue to Beni Hassan, home to beautifully preserved Middle Kingdom rock-cut tombs renowned for their vivid wall paintings depicting daily life, hunting, warfare, sports, and the arrival of foreign visitors. After exploring these lesser-visited historical sites with your guide, return comfortably to Cairo.
