Overview

On this full-day tour from Cairo you’ll visit the archaeological site of Tanis in the Nile Delta and the famous Suez Canal, combining ancient history with modern engineering. You’ll begin at Tanis, Egypt’s forgotten capital, where you’ll explore extensive ruins often called the Saqqara of the North. As you move through the site, you’ll see temples, royal tombs and scattered monuments that hint at the city’s former importance as a pharaonic centre. After Tanis, the tour continues to the Suez Canal, where you’ll watch global shipping traffic navigate this vital waterway. Along the way an expert guide will explain the canal’s role and its impact on world trade, giving context to what you see. Comfortable transportation is provided and lunch is included, so you can focus on the sites and the stories behind them.
