The only way to really uncover the mysteries of Egypt is to join Archaeolog­ical Paths on its very special Royal Egypt Tour

-

Is there a greater thrill than being able to walk like an Egyptian on the Giza Pyramids Plateau? It’s an experience only surpassed when guided by world-famous archaeolog­ist Dr Zahi Hawass on the extraordin­ary Royal Egypt Tours. Archaeolog­ical Paths’ incredible and fascinatin­g tour is an experience normally reserved for royalty, presidents and VIPs – and the only one of its kind to give unpreceden­ted access to some unique sites that few people ever get to see. It also allows you to spend time in the esteemed company of Dr Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s Head of Antiquitie­s, and the former first lady, Mrs Jehan Sadat, in the residence of Egypt’s late president Anwar Sadat.

EGYPT UNCOVERED There is no one better than Dr Zahi Hawass to take you on a journey into the past. For more than 20 years, he has held the keys to many of this ancient land’s most incredible antiquitie­s. Dr Hawass will give you a very personal glimpse into his extensive research into the mysteries of Tutankhamu­n, the search for Nefertiti’s grave and work on the pyramid complex at Giza. As you might expect from such a special tour, you’ll be treated like royalty every step of the way. As well as private sightseein­g with Dr Zahi Hawass, and the opportunit­y to visit ancient sites after the hordes have gone home, your 14-day itinerary will allow plenty of time to relax in five-star luxury at one of Giza’s best hotels or on board a stunning ship as you cruise down the Nile. Archaeolog­ical Paths is no stranger to offering some very special historical tours – it has been delighting customers since 2003. But this one really is fit for a Pharaoh.
