Discover Egypt’s Hidden Wonders
Before the World Even Knows They Exist
By Michele Sponagle
Imagine standing where history is being rewritten—ancient relics emerging from the sands and centuries-old streets beneath your feet. In Egypt, new treasures are unearthed every day—each with tales to tell. You could be there when it happens with a luxury tour from Archaeological Paths.
Just four years ago, archaeologists discovered So’oud Atun, the Lost Golden City, near Luxor. It dates to 1391 and 1353 B.C. and is considered one of the most significant Egyptian archaeological finds of this century. Before the rest of the world became aware of this monumental achievement, Archaeological Paths guests were on-site—observing the excavations and feeling the excitement as a major event in the world of archaeology unfolded. It’s a moment they’ll never forget.
As layers of dirt are brushed away from a freshly uncovered site, expert guides provide context and enrich the adventure. How was this place used and when? How does it fit into Egyptian culture? Since only a fraction of the country’s relics have been unearthed, guests of Archaeological Paths have countless opportunities to witness history in the making.
Archaeological Paths brings dreams of an immersive Egyptian vacation to life with one-of-a-kind tours that provide unprecedented access to iconic attractions. Committed to preserving Egypt’s past, the company sponsors research, excavations and restoration projects to ensure ancient sites can be appreciated by future generations. This dedication sets its tours apart, making your time in Egypt extraordinary.
Enjoy the VIP treatment offered by Archaeological Paths. Walk past the crowds and lineups and take advantage of private entry to iconic sites, like the Great Pyramid and Giza Plateau, and spend more time exploring. At the new Grand Egyptian Museum (now the world’s largest archaeological museum), you will be accompanied by one of its directors, like Dr. Tarek Tawfik, who shares his personal insights about the exhibits that take your visit to a whole new level.
You’ll watch the sunrise from an incredible vantage point—from the paws of the Great Sphinx—a special golden opportunity. Rare moments like these are offered exclusively to those travelling with Archaeological Paths, thanks to its reputation for excellence and close partnership with Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities.
A trip to Egypt wouldn’t feel complete without visiting Luxor, known in ancient times as Thebes. It’s home to Karnak, the largest temple complex in the world. Beyond its size, Karnak is unique because of the length of time it was used. Over centuries, 30 pharaohs left their mark on the site, making it a living testament to ancient Egyptian culture. Karnak offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and its deep religious significance.
Ancient wonders like Karnak, Valley of the Kings and King Tut’s tomb come alive, thanks to the impressive roster of renowned experts working with Archaeological Paths. You might find yourself speaking with Dr. Zahi Hawass, revered as the world’s most famous archaeologist, or other notables such as Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s Head of Antiquities. Their extensive knowledge makes the difference between just seeing ancient wonders and truly understanding and appreciating them.
As you dig deeper into the wonders of Egypt, enjoy them in luxury. Local hospitality is legendary and communities are eager to warmly welcome visitors. When travelling with Archaeological Paths, guests stay at five-star accommodations with superior service and dine at the finest restaurants. These elevated touches enhance every aspect of your trip. As Dr. Hawass once said, “Egypt has magic.” It’s ready and waiting for you to discover.
