For those passionate about Egyptian history, our Egypt Revisited tour offers the perfect opportunity for a second exploration of the country. We venture beyond the typical tourist spots to discover lesser-known ancient sites, providing you with a deeper insight into the evolution of Egyptian architecture over time.

Your journey begins in Cairo, where we explore the Pyramids and Temples of Saqqara and Dahshur before visiting the remnants of the once-great capital of Memphis. From Cairo, we head toward the Western Deserts, making our first stop at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Wadi Hitan, also known as the Valley of the Whales. This exceptional site is considered one of the best preserved examples of whale evolution, with ancient fossils scattered throughout the desert. In the evening, we take a tour of the nearby Fayoum Oasis, where we stay overnight at a hotel by the shores of Lake Qarun.

As we continue our journey back to the Nile Valley, we make stops in Minya to explore the less-visited pyramids of Hawara, Lahun, and Meidum. After checking into our hotel, we enjoy an afternoon tour of the Frazer Tombs and Tihna el-Jebel. Before heading further south to Asyut, we visit Beni Hassan, Hermopolis, and Tuna al-Gabel in the morning. In the afternoon, we tour the fabled capital of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, Tel Amarna, before continuing to Assyut.

Our journey south takes us to the ancient city of Thebes, now Luxor. Along the way, we stop at Akhmim to view the ancient statues of Meryut Amun and Ramses II, and Abydos, once the center of the Cult of Osiris, where we see the Temple of Seti I. Before reaching Luxor, we visit Dendera to see the remains of the Greco-Roman Temple of Hathor. The evening is spent in Luxor, giving you free time to unwind along the banks of the Nile.

The next two days are dedicated to exploring Luxor. On the first day, we embark on an 'alternative' West Bank tour, visiting the less-visited Temples of Ramses II (Ramesseum), Merneptah, and Seti I, as well as the Tombs of the Nobles and Deir el-Medina, the Workers Village. On our second day, we visit the Luxor Museum, which boasts an impressive collection of artifacts and funerary items. In the afternoon, we explore the Mummification Museum. In the evening, we board an overnight sleeper train back to Cairo. Upon our return, you’ll enjoy a final day of tours to the Nile Delta settlements of Tanis and Avaris, before spending one last night in the land of the Pharaohs.
