Itinerary
You will transfer from Luxor to Minya by private air-conditioned car upon arrival You will visit Tel el-Amarna The Tel el-Amarna area is an archaeological city located on the east bank of the Nile River in Dirmuas district, south of Minya Governorate, and is considered a symbol of revolutionary beliefs, historians and Egyptologists called it the city of mysterious religious secrets, as that area was the residence of Queen Nefertiti and King Tutankhamun.
The discovery of the statue of Queen Nefertiti is the most important archaeological discovery in the region, in addition to the statue of King Akhenaten, which was found in the Tel el-Amarna area in Minya, and is more than 3,300 years old.
Historians mentioned that when King Amenhotep IV or Akhenaten wanted to choose a land to worship the one God, he set several criteria for this land, among those criteria was that it should be a pure land on which no idol was worshipped before and no human foot touched it and a beautiful location on the Nile, so Tell Al Amarna in Dirmuas was that area.
After that, you will be taken to a reputable local restaurant for an oriental meal before spending the night at your hotel in El Minya.
After enjoying your delicious meal at your hotel, you will be picked up in front of your hotel. You will visit the tombs of Beni Hassan from the monuments of the Middle Kingdom, specifically from the era of the 11th and 12th dynasties, i.e. about 1800 BC, so the age of these tombs is about 4 thousand years, and the number of these tombs reaches 39 tombs, the most important of which are ‘Kheti Tomb, Baket III Tomb, Khnum Htab II Tomb, and Amenemhat Tomb’ which are completely complete and ready to be visited.
These tombs reflect the system of splendour and magnificence that they used as they carved their tombs in the mountain, the scenes are all painted and not carved, so he covered the walls of the tomb with a layer of mortar and then began to paint the aspects of daily life from agriculture, industry and religious life, in other words, the tombs of Beni Hassan are a complete record that records the aspects of daily life in Egypt in the Middle Kingdom era.
