An exclusive tour for members of the Egypt Exploration Society
THEBES AND UPPER EGYPT
This exciting new itinerary has been designed to take our members to many rarely visited sites and current excavations From our base in Luxor, we plan special permit access to some incredible sites. These include the temples of Khonsu and Mut, and the new excavations at Karnak. We visit Mo’alla, el Tod, Dendera and Abydos, where we have complete access. Then to Akhmim and Beit Khallaf followed by the Red Monastery, where as guests of ARCE we see the superb renovations. We also plan to visit Wanina, Hawawish and view the incredible rock inscriptions at Wadi Hammamat. Our southern explorations en-route to Aswan take time to visit, El Kab, Esna, Edfu and Gebel Silsila. We will also visit Kubbet el Hawa, Elephantine, Sehel, the Obelisk and Philae before returning to Luxor. Our last two days are devoted to the West Bank, and are very special. We have been invited to view KV5 with Kent Weeks before the walk out of the valley over the Mountain of Meretsegar on the path of the ancient workers. We hope to view the ongoing work at Kom el Hitan and at Asasif. Our hotel in Luxor will be the Old Winter Palace Garden Pavilion Wing and in Aswan the Movenpick on Elephantine Island. Accompanied by Chris Naunton and a senior guide throughout, this unique tour promises in-depth Egyptology, adventure and privileged access to many rare sites.
