- Tuna el-Gebel - Upon arrival in El Minya, the day tour begins with a visit to Tuna El Gabal. This site was primarily the burial ground for the ancient city of Hermopolis, now known as El Ashmonien. It has become a significant archaeological site, attracting many tourists visiting Egypt.
Tuna El Gabal and Hermopolis were central to the worship of Thoth, the god of wisdom in Ancient Egypt, revered since the predynastic period. It served as the necropolis for the fifteenth province in Egypt.
- Beni Hassan - Next, visit the tombs of Beni Hassan, which date back to the Middle Kingdom in ancient Egyptian history. These tombs were the burial sites for many local governors of the El Minya region during the 11th dynasty (2134-1991 BC) and the 12th dynasty (1991-1759 BC).
- Tell el-Amarna - Conclude the day with a visit to Tell El Amarna Attractions Map and Tablets. The Tell El-Amarna Tablets, also known as El-Amarna letters, were written by ancient Egyptians in the Babylonian language using cuneiform script. These 350 clay tablets, dating back to the 15th century B.C., were discovered in 1887. They are distributed worldwide, with 50 in Cairo, 200 in Berlin, 22 in Oxford, and 82 in the British Museum, while a few remain privately owned.
After the tour, guests will be transferred back to their hotel in Cairo.

Aswan to Luxor Nile Cruise on the Alexander the Great - This cruise was fantastic! To be honest, we had originally intended to book a less expensive cruise but are so glad now that they were all fully booked! The accommodation on the Alexander the Great was spacious and comfortable, the food delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The selection of tours provided was just right, giving sufficient free time for relaxing in between. We had a guide for just our family who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything was very well managed. I would highly recommend this trip.

Guide put a damper on the experience - The three sites of Tuna El Gebel, Amarna, and Beni Hassan were amazing, but the guide did not allow sufficient time.
He spent the four hour car ride informing me about what we would be seeing and of its significance, but for some reason he made offensive comments about Jews and gay people. This is bad business. The guide told me Jews were "greedy" during the time of Herod, and that homosexuality did not exist in the over 3000 years of Ancient Egyptian civilization. How does he know? Is he 5000 years old?
These were unsolicited opinions that were not appropriate or professional. It was highly offensive.
Did it not occur to the guide that he might have gay and or Jewish customers? This EMO tour guide should have kept his personal beliefs to himself in matters such as these.
