- Qussair Al-Amarna Monumental Tombs - Tell el-Amarna served as the capital city established by Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE. This city was founded when Akhenaten departed from Egypt’s traditional religious practices to exclusively worship the sun disk Aten, marking one of the earliest known instances of monotheism in history. It is also the place where Akhenaten’s son, the young King Tutankhamun, spent his early years before the city was abandoned and largely erased from official records following Akhenaten’s death. Presently, the site features the remnants of the Great Temple of Aten, royal tombs carved into the eastern cliffs, and boundary stelae that define the city’s original borders. Due to its relatively low number of visitors compared to Egypt’s major attractions, visitors often have the opportunity to explore the ruins in solitude.
- Beni Hassan - Beni Hassan is a collection of rock-cut tombs hewn into limestone cliffs overlooking the Nile, constructed for regional governors during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (circa 2000–1900 BCE). These tombs are notable for their wall art, which includes rare and detailed depictions of everyday life, such as wrestling, hunting, agriculture, and dance. This offers a more intimate view of ancient Egyptian life compared to the religious and royal imagery typically found at other sites. The columned facades of the tombs are also regarded as architectural forerunners to the later Greek Doric temple design.

This is an exclusive private tour, offering a personal guide and vehicle without a set group schedule. This allows for the flexibility to linger at any site that piques your interest, rather than adhering to a strict itinerary.
Explore two of Egypt’s most important yet less frequented historical locations:
Tell el-Amarna — the ancient capital established by Akhenaten, father of King Tutankhamun, and the hub of Egypt’s short-lived religious transformation.
Beni Hassan — a collection of rock-cut tombs created for regional governors during the Middle Kingdom, adorned with vibrant depictions of daily life, sports, and combat that are seldom seen elsewhere in Egypt.
Unlike Giza or Luxor, these sites attract very few visitors, making them perfect for travelers who have already seen the main attractions and wish to delve deeper into Egypt’s history without the crowds.
