Tanis Day Tour from Cairo – Discover the Lost Capital of Ancient Egypt

Your Tanis day trip from Cairo begins in the early morning when your private Khonsu Tours representative and professional Egyptologist guide meet you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. You will travel north toward the Nile Delta in a comfortable private air-conditioned vehicle, leaving the busy streets of Cairo behind as the landscape gradually changes into the green agricultural countryside of Lower Egypt. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the history and geography of the Nile Delta and explain the importance of this fertile region to the development of Ancient Egyptian civilization. After the scenic journey, you will arrive at Tanis, or San El-Hagar, where you will begin your guided exploration of the archaeological site. Walk among the impressive remains of the ancient city and discover fragments of temples, colossal statues, columns, inscriptions, obelisks, and other monuments that reveal the former importance of Tanis. Your Egyptologist will explain how the city developed into a major political and religious center and will bring the scattered archaeological remains to life through stories about the kings, gods, priests, and ancient Egyptian traditions connected with the site. You will also have time to photograph the remarkable ruins and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of one of Egypt’s less-visited archaeological treasures. After completing your visit to Tanis, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant before beginning your journey back toward Cairo. Relax in your private vehicle as you travel through the Delta countryside, arriving back at your Cairo or Giza hotel in the evening, marking the end of your private Tanis archaeological day tour from Cairo.
