What your day looks like

One relaxed day, from hotel pickup to drop-off.

Embark on an extraordinary journey to Upper Egypt, where you will discover the charming city of Minya, located on the west bank of the Nile, 245 kilometers south of Cairo. The city's historical name, "Barat Khufu", which means "The City of Nursing Khufu", dates back to the time of the famous Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramids.

Enjoy the abundance of archaeological wonders that El Minya has to offer, as you immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of the Nile River, fertile farmlands, and famous pharaonic ruins at Tuna El Gebel, Beni Hassan, and Tell el-Amarna. Your adventure begins with a warm welcome from our expert tour guide at your hotel in Cairo. A comfortable three-hour ride will bring you to Minya, where the exploration work unfolds.

Marvel at the Great Plain, a site where Akhenaten was divinely inspired to build his illustrious city. After this captivating experience, indulge in a delicious lunch at a nearby restaurant. Next, hike to Tuna Mountain, and uncover the Tombs of Pitoceres, the catacombs of the ibis, and the tomb of Isadora.

The journey continues to the captivating tombs of the ancient Egyptian leaders at Beni Hassan, a testament to the greatness of their time. In the end, we will say goodbye to Minya and return you safely to your hotel in Cairo, enriched with unforgettable memories of Egypt's ancient past.
