Pickup included
As you wander through the ancient artefacts, hear the awe-inspiring story of Hatshepsut who ruled ancient Egypt in the position of pharaoh for 23 years, an incredible feat for a woman in those times. You’ll also hear about Queen Tiye, another formidable queen – mother of the ‘heretic’ Pharaoh Akhenaten and the grandmother of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. While we are at the Egyptian Museum, we will celebrate Wafaa El Saddik who was the first female president of the museum and continues to do remarkable work to ensure that Egyptian children know about their history.
A short drive will take us to the mausoleum of Shajar al-Durr, who went from being a child slave to ruling Egypt in 1250. Hear about the life, reign and tragic death of this remarkable woman.
After lunch we will head to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and back to Ancient Egypt. Here you will have the opportunity to see the ancient mummies of queens Hatshepsut, Tiye, Ahmose Nefertari and Meritamen, as well as stunning pieces of jewellery and other wonderful artefacts from ancient Egypt.
