The experience
Extend your exploration beyond Luxor with a two-day road journey to El Minya, using an overnight stay to reach the rock-cut tombs of Beni Hassan in Middle Egypt.
Day one is built around the long northbound transfer, a lunch stop and hotel check-in. On day two, visit the hillside cemetery at Beni Hassan, where Middle Kingdom provincial officials were buried and painted scenes introduce a different period and social setting from Luxor’s New Kingdom royal tombs. The tombs open for your visit determine the route; expect a stepped approach and time on foot as well as the drive.
The proposed private arrangement includes a guide, transport, one night in a three-star hotel with breakfast, two lunches, water and standard tickets to the confirmed sites. Agree the hotel name, room occupancy, route permissions and daily timings before booking. The supplier mentions Amarna in its overview without a clear scheduled visit, so Tell el-Amarna is not promised in this base program. Dinner, room upgrades and an Amarna extension are separate. The trip returns to Luxor on day two and needs two full days free.
