Menya's Mysteries: Full Day Archaeological
Journey to Al Menya: Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Cairo to Al Menya, a region celebrated for its historical significance and natural beauty. Prepare to be captivated by the stories and landscapes that have shaped this part of Egypt.
Beni Hassan Tombs: Our first stop in Al Menya is Beni Hassan, an ancient burial site dating back to the Middle Kingdom. Explore the intricately carved tombs adorned with remarkable colors and decorations that offer insight into the lives, beliefs, and artistic achievements of the era.
Hermopolis: Next, we visit Hermopolis, once the center of worship for Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing. Discover how this site evolved under the Ptolemies to honor Hermes, merging ancient Egyptian beliefs with Hellenistic influences in a fascinating blend of cultures.
Tal El Amarna: Our final destination is Tal El Amarna, the revolutionary capital established by Akhenaten. This site marks a significant shift in ancient Egyptian religion to the worship of a single deity, Aten, the sun god. Wander among the remains of cliff tombs, palaces, and temples, each telling a part of the story of this bold and controversial pharaoh.
Return to Cairo: After a day immersed in the wonders of Al Menya, relax as we transport you back to your hotel in Cairo. Reflect on the day’s discoveries and the enduring legacy of Egypt’s heartland.
