Marvel at the legendary Golden Mask of Tutankhamun during your visit to the renowned Egyptian Museum. Explore fascinating, lesser-visited sites like the city of Amarna, built by the pharaoh Akhenaten and his queen, Nefertiti. Discover Egypt’s incredible temples, and delve into the history of the Valley of the Kings, visiting the tombs of the pharaohs and the temple of Hatshepsut, while also touring Howard Carter’s house.
