With esteemed figures like Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mostafa Waziri, one of Egypt’s Heads of Antiquities, as VIP experts, Archaeological Paths proudly presents guests with the incredible opportunity to meet and learn from living legends of Egyptology.
A globally renowned luxury tour operator, Archaeological Paths offers a unique gateway to the ancient world, granting privileged access to Egypt’s epochal landmarks. Imagine walking between the paws of the Great Sphinx, an experience typically reserved for royalty and heads of state. This is not a distant view from a crowded platform but a close-up moment with one of the world’s most mysterious monuments. Here, guests are not just passive observers; they become active participants in discovering Egypt’s rich history. Rare encounters like this are just one of the many perks of joining a tour with Archaeological Paths, a company that’s made a name for itself with its inimitable approach to travel.
Not your run-of-the-mill tour operator, Archaeological Paths takes intrepid travellers past the usual tourist trails, inviting them to step beyond the ordinary with exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours. With private access to the Giza Pyramids, the Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings and King Tut’s Tomb outside of opening hours, guests are guaranteed a peaceful, crowd-free experience. Even a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the most significant archaeological museum in the world, is made more magical with Archaeological Paths: guests are invited to explore 7,000 years of history in the company of the museum’s director, uncovering stories and secrets that are not available to the general public.
But the exclusivity doesn’t stop there. One of Archaeological Paths’ highlights is the chance to tour active excavation sites that are typically off-limits. Among these is the Lost Golden City, hailed as the most significant discovery in Egypt this century. Visiting such sites provides an extraordinary window into the unending work that goes into unearthing Egypt’s ancient secrets.
