Tell el-Amarna unusual Private day tour

Overview

You will travel by road from Cairo into Upper Egypt towards El Minya to explore a less-visited region of the country. This quieter route leads to Tal Al Amarna, the old capital of Akhenaton, an area not usually treated as a major tourist site but offering a different perspective on ancient Egyptian history. At Tal Al Amarna you will explore the hidden tombs and the remains of the ancient city. As you move through the site you will learn about the significance of this former capital and gain insight into aspects of Egypt’s past that are not always visible at the better-known monuments. The visit provides a more intimate encounter with archaeological remains and a chance to see a side of Upper Egypt that many travellers miss.
