Your experienced guide will meet you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza and escort you in a private air-conditioned vehicle for your personalized Cairo Day Tour to El Minya. The drive to El Minya takes about four hours along a modern highway.
Upon arrival, you'll begin by exploring the vast plain where Akhenaton found divine inspiration to establish his city, Aketaten, the center for worshiping the god Aten.
Next, you'll visit Tuna El Gabal, home to distinctive burial sites adorned with unique wall paintings that blend Greco-Roman and ancient Egyptian artistic styles. As part of your El Minya tour, you’ll also see the tomb of Petosiris, as well as the catacombs for ibises and baboons, along with the famous Tomb of Isadora, dating back to the 2nd century AD and known for its romantic legend in the city of Hermopolis.
After your explorations, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, and then check in to your hotel for an overnight stay in El Minya.
