Overview

You will leave Cairo with your guide for a private visit to the ruins associated with Egypt’s 22nd Dynasty, a site noted for having the highest number of obelisks. The tour is intimate and guided, giving you focused time among the archaeological remains and the stone monuments that stand there. As you move through the site, you will see multiple obelisks and the surrounding ruins. Your guide will explain aspects of the 22nd Dynasty and help place the obelisks in their historical context. Along the way, you will have opportunities to examine the stonework up close and absorb the atmosphere of an ancient ceremonial landscape dominated by these tall, carved monuments. The experience centres on seeing and learning about the ruins and their obelisks with the attention of a private guide.
