Private Tour to Al-Minya Tel el Amarna and Tuna al Gebel

At El‑Menia, the ancient capital of King Akhenaten, you will explore a site tied to a major religious shift. The king unified many figures and symbols of God into a single deity called Itn, and the area contains some of the most beautiful tombs associated with him and his wife Nefertiti. Along the way you will learn how the capital was later destroyed by the priests of Amun and see remnants that reflect that turbulent history. You will also descend to underground serapium tunnels where beautifully mummified baboons are preserved. Nearby stands the striking tomb of Princess Isadora, who is said to have taken her own life for love; her mummy remains there and a long, decorative poem adorns the tomb wall. As you move through the site, you will encounter these varied and intimate funerary spaces that reveal personal stories as well as royal and religious ideas from the period.
