Overview

You will leave the crowds of central Cairo behind and travel south along the Nile river to El Minya. The journey takes you away from the usual tourist routes, giving you a quieter way to experience Egypt's ancient past. In El Minya you will see Tell Al Amarna, the once-capital city founded by Akhenaton. The site is off the tourist track, so you will have the chance to explore its ancient remains with fewer people around. Along the way you may gain a sense of the city's historical importance and its unique place in Egypt's story under Akhenaton. This experience focuses on seeing and exploring an archaeological site that many visitors to Cairo do not reach.
