Step off the beaten path and uncover the ancient secrets of Tanis, a lesser-known archaeological treasure often called the "northern Luxor" by Egyptologists. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the fertile Land of Goshen, the biblical region where Prophet Joseph is said to have brought his father Jacob and his brothers to settle. With a private guide, you'll explore the remarkable ruins of the Temple of Amun Ra, once a major religious center during the 21st and 22nd dynasties. Admire 23 fallen granite obelisks, massive statues, and other remnants that were originally relocated from Per-Ramesses, the northern capital of Ramses II.
The tour also includes a visit to three royal tombs from the 21st and 22nd dynasties, offering a rare glimpse into ancient burial practices outside the more frequently visited sites in Egypt. With fewer crowds and a peaceful atmosphere, Tanis provides a rich, immersive experience for history enthusiasts and those looking to explore beyond the usual tourist paths. Duration: 10–11 hours.
