You will explore El Minya, the land of Akhenaten, and visit the Royal Family Tomb of Akhenaten, the burial place of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the Royal Wadi at Amarna. As you move through Tel El Amarna, you will see the archaeological remains linked to the Amarna period and learn about the royal family's burial landscape. The experience also includes visits to Tuna El Gabel and the Beni Hassan tombs, where ancient funerary art and inscriptions illustrate daily life and beliefs.
