FIT FOR A king

If you want to walk in the footsteps of the Pharaohs, join Archaeolog­ical Paths on its very special Royal Egypt Tour

-

To understand the mysteries of Egypt, you have to see the Valley of the Kings, touch the paws of the Great Sphinx and explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu. You have to speak to the people who live and breathe this ancient land – the experts who can lift the lid on some of Egypt’s most fascinatin­g stories. You can do all of that and more on the Royal Egypt Tour. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience – and one you’ll feel privileged to be a part of. The tour, patroned by world famous archaeolog­ist Dr Zahi Hawass, takes you to unique sites that very few people get to see. You will hear secrets never before told and spend time in the esteemed company of Dr Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s Head of Antiquitie­s. You will be hosted by the former first lady Mrs Jehan Sadat, in the residence of Egypt’s late president Anwar Sadat. As you might expect on such a special visit, you’ll be treated like royalty every step of the way. Your 14-day itinerary will include private sightseein­g with Dr Zahi Hawass and access to areas normally closed to the public, such as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the entrance to the Great Sphinx Enclosure and the Tombs of Pyramid Builders. You’ll also be able to visit the Giza Plateau and Luxor Temple outside of normal opening hours. When not delving into history, you’ll be able 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. Since 2003, Archaeolog­ical Paths has been delighting its guests – among them royalty, presidents and stars of the silver screen – with some very special historical tours. Now it’s your turn to embark on a journey of discovery unavailabl­e to others.
