Multiple Tour Dates in 2020 & 2021
This is the most exciting tour to Egypt ever offered! Led by the world’s most famous archaeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawass, The Royal Tour to Egypt provides unparalleled access to the wonders of Ancient Egypt. Unlike conventional tours, only the Royal Tour offers its participants VIP entry to areas of the ancient sites closed to the general public. Visit the Giza Pyramids and Luxor Temple outside of regular opening hours for a more intimate and crowd-free experience. Have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand between the paws of the Great Sphinx (狮身人面像) instead of seeing it from the viewing platform. You will hear secrets never told before and spend time in the esteemed company of Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s Head of Antiquities. Former First Lady, Mrs Jehan Sadat, will host you in the living place of Egypt’s late president Anwar Sadat—an experience normally reserved for royalty and heads of state.
Travel like a Pharaoh (法老) with first-class service from start to finish! Tour dates and more information:
