Beni Hassan Tombs

It’s one of the most impressive burial sites. Date back to the reign of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the tombs of Beni Hassan had been used as a resting place for the governors of El Minya during the ruling time of the 11th and 12th dynasties and unlike most of the burials built in Ancient Egypt, Beni Hassan tombs were founded on the east bank of the Nile.

Lunch Time

Let’s have lunch at a local restaurant then head to visit:

Tel Al Amarna

It’s one of the hidden treasures of the Nile Valley that was founded by Pharaoh Akhenaton in 1363 BC as his new capital after he decided to change Egypt’s worship system and unified all the Egyptians’ gods into one god, Aten, the god of the sun.

Finally, we will transfer you back to your hotel in Cairo by your A/C vehicle
