Tour Itinerary

Detailed Schedule for Your Trip to Tel Amarna and Beni Hassano

Let’s start a spiritual day trip to the greatest of Ancient Egyptian history and join your personal Egyptologist in the early morning. Then we will drive you for almost 4 hrs in one of our deluxe air-conditioned vehicles from Cairo to El Minya, where you will visit:

Tel Al Amarna

It’s the ancient city of Akhenaton, which was the ruling centre during his reign. Tel El Amarna was constructed in 1363 BC when Akhenaton unified the multi gods into one god and ordered all the country to worship Aten, the god of the sun. As a result, he moved the capital from Thebes to the new city of Amarna. Then move to visit:

Beni Hassan Tombs

It’s an ancient complex for burial tombs that was established during the reign of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. Beni Hassan was used as a grave spot for some of El Minya’s governors, and 39 genuine tombs were discovered at the site, which many visitors from all over the world came to witness.

Lunch is offered at a local restaurant, then transfer back to your hotel in Cairo.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
