Imagine the thrill of watching the sunrise between the paws of the Great Sphinx, being able to explore the Luxor Temple after everyone else has left for the day, or being invited into the active excavation site of the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders. Visit Egypt with Archaeolog­ical Paths and you’ll gain unpreceden­ted access to many unique and fascinatin­g historical places – and be treated like a true pharaoh every step of the way. The Royal Egypt Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunit­y that few get to experience – in fact, it’s normally the preserve of royalty, presidents or VIPs. Now, you have the chance to join worldfamou­s archaeolog­ist, Dr. Zahi Hawass, as he takes you behind the scenes to discover some of Egypt’s most incredible stories.

FIT FOR A KING

As part of your 14-day itinerary, Dr. Hawass will share his research into the mysteries of Tutankhamu­n, the search for Queen Nefertiti’s grave and work on the pyramid complex at Giza. You will also be introduced to Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s Head of Antiquitie­s, and the former first lady, Mrs. Jehan Sadat, who will welcome you to the residence of Egypt’s late president, Anwar Sadat. With so much to explore and discover, the tour also provides plenty of rest and relaxation. Stay in five-star luxury at one of Giza’s most exclusive hotels, or on board a stunning ship as you spend eight days cruising down the Nile. Archaeolog­ical Paths has been delighting customers with its very special historical tours for more than a decade. Now it’s your turn to uncover some of Egypt’s most closelygua­rded secrets.
