El Minya Day Tour from Cairo by Private Car with Egyptologist

Overview

On this El Minya day tour from Cairo, you'll explore some of Middle Egypt’s lesser-visited archaeological treasures. You’ll travel in a private, air-conditioned car along the Nile Valley with a professional Egyptologist as your guide. Along the way, the guide will explain the region’s history, art and culture, offering personal insights and context. You’ll visit the Beni Hassan tombs, known for vivid Middle Kingdom paintings. Then you’ll cross to the east bank to walk among the ruins of Tell el-Amarna, the short-lived capital built by Pharaoh Akhenaten. The tour continues to Tuna el-Gebel, the necropolis of Hermopolis, where Greco-Roman catacombs and temples await, including the famous tomb of Petosiris. The private format gives you flexibility and more direct attention from your Egyptologist, so you can explore these sites at your own pace. This experience is suitable for couples, families and solo travellers who are interested in Egypt’s quieter historic sites.
