Egypt Tours FAQ

The succession of pharaohs in ancient Egypt followed a hereditary system, where power typically passed from father to son. The eldest or most eligible son of the pharaoh would be chosen as his successor. In some cases, when a pharaoh did not have a male heir, a close relative or high-ranking official could be designated as the heir. This process aimed to maintain stability and continuity within the ruling family and the kingdom as a whole. However, there were also instances of power struggles, rivalries, and the occasional rise of non-royal individuals to the throne.
