When you arrive, you will visit the ancient plain. This is where Akhenaton is believed to have had divine inspiration for starting his city.
Lunch will be served later.
After lunch, your route will include these stops.
Tuna El Gabal
This is an old archaeological area. It was used for burial tombs connected to the ancient city of Hermopolis. Tuna El Gabal also worked as a worship place for Thoth, the god linked with wisdom. One of the best known tombs here is the tomb of Petosiris, who was a loyal priest of Thoth.

Beni Hassan Tombs
These are among the most striking burial places in the area. They date to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. The tombs served as a stop for the governors of El Minya during the 11th and 12th dynasties. Most burials in Ancient Egypt are not set this way, but Beni Hassan tombs are on the east bank of the Nile.
