A Journey to Ancient Egypt with the World’s Leading Archaeologist

You may be surprised to learn that now is a great time to visit Egypt. Since President Abdel Fattah El Sisi was elected four years ago, the political situation has stabilized, but tourism has been slower to rebound. This means that crowds are smaller and you’ll get more value for your money—which is good news for armchair archaeologists.

And there’s no better way to visit the country than with Dr. Zahi Hawass, whose Royal Tour to Egypt with Archaeological Paths offers a unique way to experience the country’s ancient monuments. Dr. Hawass long served as Egypt’s Minister of State for Antiquities and has directed excavations at several important sites, including Giza, Saqqara, the Bahariya Oasis, and the Valley of the Kings.

For nearly 3,000 years, Egypt was the most advanced civilization of the ancient world. Archaeologists are still uncovering this rich history today. Recent discoveries, such as the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders at Giza, have revealed details about the construction of these wonders of the world, as well as the everyday lives of Egyptian workers. The search continues for important historical sites such as the grave of Queen Nefertiti and the tombs of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. “No one can really expect it,” Dr. Hawass says of the possibility of future finds. “You never know what secrets the sands of Egypt might hide.”

The Best Way to See Egypt Dr. Hawass is not only one of the world’s leading archaeologists, but he brings a dynamic personality and engaging style to the Royal Tour. He has appeared on Good Morning America and The Today Show and has shared his passion for archaeology in documentaries by the BBC, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, History Channel, and PBS.

Throughout the journey, Dr. Hawass brings history to life with multimedia presentations and Q&A sessions. This tour offers special access to sites that are normally closed to the public, including unique experiences at the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Luxor Temple at night. “The most exciting moment for many of our guests,” Dr. Hawass says, “is to stand between the two paws of the Sphinx (at 7 a.m.), when there are no other tourists but only our group.”

On the tour of the Giza plateau, Dr. Hawass discusses these historic monuments and describes how he and his team use modern technology to make new discoveries. The tour also includes the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders, one of the most important discoveries of Dr. Hawass’s career. This site is normally closed to the public because it’s an active excavation site, with new finds surfacing even today.

“It was my dream to discover the tombs of the workmen who built the pyramids at Giza,” says Dr. Hawass. “I always say that this discovery is even more important than the tomb of King Tutankhamun, because the tombs of the Pyramid Builders reconstructed our history.”

An All-Encompassing Tour The trip to Giza is just one of many highlights of The Royal Tour of Egypt. The tour also visits Saqqara, home of the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, which Dr. Hawass calls “the birthplace of architecture.” Travelers will also cruise down the Nile, the river that shaped the course of Egyptian history, stopping at key sites like Edfu and the Kom Ombo temples, Aswan, and the temple of Philae. At the Karnak temple, Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Egypt’s current Head of Antiquities, will meet the group and reveal his team’s most recent discoveries. A visit to the Valley of the Kings, which is the royal cemetery for 62 pharaohs, includes a tour of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

And if there’s a temple or tomb you are interested in that isn’t listed above, you can still see it. “The most important thing is that if anyone wants to visit a specific site,” Hawass says. “Archaeological Paths can make it happen.”

Archeologic Paths Royal Egypt Tour with Dr. Zahi Hawass

Archeologic Paths Royal Egypt Tour with Dr. Zahi Hawass My Family of 4 recently visited Egypt with Archeologic Paths, (NOV 3-16, 2017.) We WERE SAFE! WE WERE AMAZED! WE WERE TREATED WELL BY STAFF AND LOCALS! WE WERE STARVING...WELL SORT OF, .We saw all the major sites including Saqquara, Memphis, Dahshur, Tombs of the Pyramid Builders with Dr. Hawass, The Great Sphinx, The Great Pyramids at Giza, The Citadel of Salah Al-Din, Egyptian Museum/ Cairo Museum, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings and Queens,and more and more and more..even without adding on extra's you will be BUSY !! Our tour guide AHMED was the best and very knowledgable, he explained the history of the sites, the heiroglyphs and provided a detailed description of everything we experienced. He also opened himself up to any questions on religion, politics and daily life in Egypt. Suat and Mohammed made sure that everything ran smoothly and made sure anything they could do for us was done! We had alot of access to Dr Hawasss. The accommodations were comfortable, we upgradred tp pyramid view at the Mena house and the suite on the boat. The food was a bit difficult for us, we have a food restrictions (VEGAN) and the concept of a plant based diet is not understood in Egypt and since the water can not be drunk, any fruits or veggies that are washed, tend to cause alot of stomach upset and the runs! Although the staff was informed about this 4 months before we traveled we had little or no options, despite the team on the ground truly trying their best to figure us out. In the future we will travel with oatmeal, peanut butter and some protein bars, all of which are not available in egypt. The drinks were ok and the trip on the whole was totally safe, amazing and would go again today! . It is a very poor, dirty and basically 3rd world country..you must travel with a pro/vip type group like Archeology Path.. overall I rate the tour 1 a 12/10 great!! the food a 4 rooms and service 8/10 Support Staff-Suat, Mohammed and Hani all were "10's" Don't Drink the water The Beer is good! The food is not but the tour the staff and the safety were all amazing!

On top of that we carefully select the restaurants that are boasting their specialities like Felfela founded in 1959 which has become one of the most iconic restaurants in Egypt promoting the Egyptian and the Mediterranean cuisines. We truly hope that once you decide to visit the Land of Pharaohs again the food will be scored 12/10 similarly to the overall tour. Besides, we also encourage everyone to familiarize with our day-by-day video reports from Egypt. The videos are available at Archaeological Paths website - in Reviews & Video Blog section. Every day of our tour has been documented and presented in a few minute-movies where, along with the tour guide introduction, our guests have their say on what they experienced. Generally, the movies depict all of that of what you can encounter, with Archaeological Paths and Dr. Zahi Hawass, on the Royal Egypt Tours. There are several hundred of similar reports and commentaries already posted introducing the tour in full light.

My fiancé and I recently visited Egypt with Archeologic Paths, a Polish based travel agency (October 1-14, 2017.) We had an excellent time. We saw all the major sites including Saqquara (Step Pyramid of Imhotep), Memphis (Mit Rahina Open Air Museum), Dahshur (Bent Pyramid), Tombs of the Pyramid Builders with Dr. Hawass, The Great Sphinx with Dr. Hawass, The Great Pyramids at Giza (including Cheops solar boat museum), Citadel of Salah Al-Din, Egyptian Museum/ Cairo Museum (including Tut Ankh Amum exhibit, Royal Mummies Hall and Akhenaten room), Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings (Including Tut Ankh Amun and Ramesses VI. tombs), Edfu Temple, Komombo Temple, Unfinished Obelisk, Philae Temple, Abu Simbil, Luxor Temple with Dr. Hawass, Valley of the Queens (including Nefertari's tomb), Deir Al-Bahari Temple, Deir Al-Madina/ Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, Tombs of the Tomb builders and Habu Temple. Our tour guide Jihan was the best, she explained the history of the sites, the meaning of the artworks and heiroglyphs, and provided a detailed description of everything we saw. Tomas, Mohammed and Hani made sure that everything ran smoothly, the air conditioned tour bus was never late and lunch was always ready after a long day of site seeing. We had two evening lectures with Dr. Zahi Hawass, including question and answer sessions, book signings, photos and dinner. Fortunately for my fiancé, there was plenty of opportunity for shopping including the hand made oriental rug factory store, papyrus art store in Aswan (my favorite), jewelry shop in Aswan, old Cairo bazar, Coptic church book store, numerous street vendors selling cheap souvenirs and finally, Al Amir's Perfume Palace in Giza (my second favorite.) Last, but not least, I must mention that I really enjoyed the Camel ride, Galebile Dance Party, Belly Dancer show, trip to the Nubian Village, night on the town in Aswan with Mohammed and Hani, lunch on the deck of the cruise ship, and farewell dinner with Egyptian musicians. They even celebrated my birthday on the cruise ship with a special birthday cake. The accommodations were comfortable, the food and drinks were good and the trip on the whole was totally safe. I can't think of a better way to tour Egypt and I strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing one of the greatest ancient civilizations in history. P.s. If you are considering taking this tour I would recommend arriving 2-3 days prior to the start of the tour in order to recover from jet lag, get accustom to the food, and prepare yourself mentally. There is really a lot to see and do and you need to be physically ready for some walking and climbing in the heat of the desert. Also: PeptoBismal, Alkaseltzer, Imodium and/or routine antibiotics for travelers diarrhea may also come in handy.

Discoveries: An Interview with Dr. Zahi Hawass

Arguably the world's most famous Egyptologist talks briefly about ancient Egypt and some of his recent discoveries.

dr. zahi hawass archaeology tour

Dr. Zahi Hawass is known the world over as Egypt’s ‘celebrity’ archaeologist, and for good reason. Few archaeologists in the world can equal him in terms of major archaeological discoveries. Here, writer Richard Marranca was afforded a rare opportunity to ask a few questions about Hawass’s latest published popular works and discoveries………..

___________________________________

RM (Richard Marranca): You and your team studied King Tutankhamun’s mummy with a CT scan. Can you tell us about what you learned? What are some mysteries you wish were solved?  

ZH (Zahi Hawass): We know Tutankhamun was not murdered. The hole in his skull was made by the embalmers for removing his brain tissue. Other damage to the mummy was done by Carter in an effort to remove the golden mask and other treasures. We did find out, however, that Tutankhamun had a flat foot. The blood would not reach his toes and he had to walk with a cane. He also had an injury to his leg two days before he died. It seems then that he died in some kind of accident. We are studying the mummy to see if there was any infection around the leg injury which might have killed him.

Note: the Library of Congress dates this photo to February 1926, but according to Carter’s journals, he exposed the mummy on 28 October 1925. Public Domain, Wikimedia Commons

RM: In an anthology, Discovery: Unearthing the New Treasures of Archaeology , you mentioned that finding the cemetery at Giza proves that the “pyramid builders were free Egyptians and not slaves.” Also, you mentioned that there were just “10,000 workmen at any one time.” Can you tell us about this?

ZH: The discovery proved that these workers had Egyptian names and were workers, not slaves. They were not foreigners forced to work. If they had been slaves, they would never have been buried at Giza. They were given tombs for eternity like the kings and queens whose pyramids they helped build. The lower cemetery was for the workers who moved the stones while the upper cemetery was for the technicians and more skilled workers. Important families in the country would send workmen to work on the pyramids. To the east of the cemetery, we also found a bakery and an area for making fish. These workers were well fed with areas for sleeping. There were villages for the timber workmen and for the artisans. This was a large project with many people working on it.

RM: In the second essay in Discovery, you mentioned a few tantalizing mysteries about the Great Pyramid at Giza. Can you tell us about that and also the use of robots to explore nooks and crannies? Also, you mentioned Tutankhamun’s mother’s tomb in the Valley of the kings. Is it hers?  

ZH: We were looking at small tunnels high inside the pyramid. We hired a robot from Germany to explore these tunnels. It went into a tunnel and at 60 m it was stopped by a door with two copper handles. We then did a live show with Nat Geo where we put a hole in the door to see what was behind it and found a second door. We are still working to find what is going on in unexplored areas of the pyramid. We have different teams using multiple different technologies to look for voids and possible unknown chambers. 

As to the mother of Tutankhamun, we found through DNA analysis that she is the younger female mummy from KV35, however we still do not know her name. We know that she was a daughter of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, meaning that Akhenaten married his own sister. Her mummy was moved to the cache in KV35 at a later date, so we are still looking for her tomb. 

RM: Can you explain the aspects of a mortuary temple and tomb that are especially important for the deceased to reach the afterlife – to be reanimated forever? 

ZH: The mortuary temple maintains the cult of the king as a god. This is where offerings to the cult would be given, which renews the cult of the king. Without the temple, there would not be regular offerings. Originally, these temples were directly connected to the pyramid of the king. When kings began to be buried in the Valley of the Kings rather than in pyramids, the temples were located on the West Bank of Luxor near the Valley, although usually not directly connected. 

The tomb is the king’s eternal house. This is where everything was placed for him that he needed to bring to the afterlife, including copies of the spells which he will need to successfully journey to that afterlife.

RM: You write, “Although death was not seen as an end, it was considered a dangerous journey fraught with threatening forces.” Did most people believe they would surmount the obstacles and be reanimated?  

ZH: Yes. We can see through temples and tombs that everyone believed in the afterlife – kings, queens, nobles, and common people. They did, however, like to have some extra insurance that they would get there. This is why they built tombs with everything they would need and used spells such as the Book of the Dead to guide their way. 

RM: Your book, Valley of the Golden Mummies,” is about the great discoveries at Bahariya Oasis. You show “a wide range of monuments, tombs, and temples dating from as early as the Eighteenth Dynasty through the Greco-Roman and Coptic Periods.” Can you tell us about this?

ZH: This was a very important discovery. We found over 200 mummies with gold, including two mummies of children beautifully mummified. These mummies were all put in a nearby museum. We also found many artifacts such as stelae, necklaces, and especially cups for wine. The reason these burials were so rich is that the people in Bahariya made and sold wine. They clearly did good business judging by the items in their tombs. We did not excavate the entire area, however. We intentionally left tombs for future generations to excavate, perhaps with even better methods than we have today. 

RM: What are the types of mummies that were found?  What about “The Bride Mummy” that you wrote about? 

ZH: We found a mummy covered with gold. The cartonnage was prepared with religious scenes. She appeared to be a bride prepared for her husband…. Perhaps she died before the wedding? We can’t know for sure. We found so many mummies that there was a great variety. Not all of them had gold, including a mummy I nicknamed “Mr. X”. We x-rayed Mr. X and found that he had died at age 30. 

RM: What’s it like going into a tomb for the first time in thousands of years?  

ZH: It is always an adventure to go into a tomb. Recently, we found a shaft 20 m under the ground. We entered and found a sealed door. Inside was a sealed sarcophagus, 4300 years old. When we raised the lid, we found a mummy of a woman covered in gold. It is always a thrill to find something that has been buried under the sand for thousands of years. 

RM: Did you ever get tricked by a labyrinth or false door?

ZH: We aren’t really “tricked” but we have excavated tombs or shafts that turned out to be unfinished or unused, like the tunnel in the tomb of Seti I. That was a dead end likely because it was unfinished. The king died and they had to quickly make new plans. 

RM: In Tut: The Mystery of the Boy King , you mentioned the great experience of knowing Sheik Ali. Can you tell us about him and his famous family? 

ZH: Sheikh Ali’s family knew the Valley very well. The Abd el-Rassul family had a reputation for stealing antiquities. They found the cachette of royal mummies in the 1870s. Sheikh Ali was the last member of this family. He owned a hotel, Hotel Marsam, on the West Bank. I met him when he was 72 and I was 22. At that time, he told me about the secret tunnel in the tomb of Seti I, asking me to excavate it if I became a great archaeologist. I later excavated this tunnel and found that it led to a dead end, but at least we had solved the mystery. 

RM: Your description of the mystery and silence in the Valley of the Kings at night was beautiful. Can you share that with us? 

ZH: When I was young, the first time I went to the Valley of the Kings, I went at night. I climbed the mountain until I reached the peak so that I could look over the Valley. It was a beautiful experience and to this day one of the best experiences of my life. 

RM: What’s your latest project? 

ZH: Currently, I have several projects. We are excavating at Saqqara, finding Old Kingdom tombs near the pyramid of Teti and at Gisr el-Mudir. I am using DNA analysis to search for the mummies of Nefertiti and Ankhesenamun of the 18 th dynasty, along with excavating in the Valley of the Kings looking for their tombs. I am also heading a project which is doing conservation on the tomb of Ramses II. Finally, I am still excavating the Golden City, which we found last year in Luxor.

The Fall of Zahi Hawass

Removed as minister of antiquities, the high profile archaeologist no longer holds the keys to 5,000 years of Egyptian history

Andrew Lawler

Andrew Lawler

Correspondent

Zahi Hawass

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect developments after Hawass was initially fired. (UPDATED 07/26/2011)

It is not as dramatic as the collapse of an ancient Egyptian dynasty, but the abrupt fall of Zahi Hawass is sending ripples around the planet. The archaeologist who has been in charge of Egypt’s antiquities for nearly a decade has been sacked in an overhaul of the country’s cabinet.

After several days in which his status was unclear—the appointment of a successor was withdrawn, leading to reports that Hawass would return temporarily—he confirmed by e-mail that he was out.

The antipathy toward Hawass in Egypt may be difficult to grasp in the West, where he is typically found on American television, fearlessly tracking down desert tombs, unearthing mummies and bringing new life to Egypt’s dusty past. But in Egypt he was a target of anger among young protesters who helped depose President Hosni Mubarak in February. Hawass had been accused of corruption, shoddy science and having uncomfortably close connections with the deposed president and first lady⎯all of which he vociferously denied. Many young archaeologists also demanded more jobs and better pay⎯and they complained Hawass had failed to deliver. “He was the Mubarak of antiquities,” said Nora Shalaby, a young Egyptian archaeologist who has been active in the revolution.

On July 17, Prime Minister Essam Sharaf removed Hawass, 64, as minister of antiquities, arguably the most powerful archaeology job in the world. The ministry is responsible for monuments ranging from the Great Pyramids of Giza to the sunken palaces of ancient Alexandria, along with a staff of more than 30,000, as well as control over all foreign excavations in the country. That gives the position immense prestige in a country whose economy depends heavily on tourists drawn by Egypt’s 5,000-year heritage.

“All the devils united against me,” Hawass said in an e-mail afterward.

Sharaf named Cairo University engineer Abdel Fatta El Banna to take over but withdrew the appointment after ministry employees protested that El Banna lacked credentials as an archaeologist. On July 20, Hawass told the Egyptian state news agency he had been reinstated, but it was unclear for how long. Six days later, Hawass said in an e-mail that he was leaving to rest and to write.

Finding a replacement may take time, foreign archaeologists said. In addition, the ministry of antiquities may be downgraded from a cabinet-level agency.

Mubarak had created the ministry in January as part of an effort to salvage his government; it had been a non-cabinet agency called the Supreme Council of Antiquities, which reported to the ministry of culture. The possibility that ministry would be downgraded, reported by the  Los Angeles Times , citing a cabinet spokesman, worried foreign archaeologists. “I’m very concerned about the antiquities,” said Sarah Parcak, an Egyptologist at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. “And these monuments are the lifeblood of the Egyptian economy.”

Hawass had risen from the professional dead before. Young archaeologists gathered outside his headquarters February 14 to press for more jobs and better pay. He was accused of corruption in several court cases. And in March he resigned from his post, saying that inadequate police and military protection of archaeological sites had led to widespread looting in the wake of Egypt’s revolution. But within a few weeks, Sharaf called Hawass and asked him to return to the job.

In June, he embarked on a tour to the United States to encourage tourists to return to Egypt—a high priority, given that Egypt’s political upheaval has made foreign visitors wary. Egyptian officials said in interviews last month that Hawass’ ability to persuade foreigners to return was a major reason for keeping him in his position.

Hawass rose to power in the 1980s, after getting a PhD in archaeology from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and being named the chief antiquities inspector at the Giza Plateau, which includes the pyramids. In 2002, he was put in charge of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. He began to call on foreign countries to return iconic antiquities, such as the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum and the Nefertiti bust at the Neues Museum in Berlin. At the same time, he made it easier for foreign museums to access Egyptian artifacts for exhibit, which brought in large amounts of money for the Egyptian government. In addition, he halted new digs in areas outside the Nile Delta and oases, where rising water and increased development pose a major threat to the country’s heritage.

Hawass also began to star in a number of television specials, including  Chasing Mummies , a 2010 reality show on the History Channel that was harshly criticized for the cavalier way with which he treated artifacts. In addition, Egyptians complained that there was no way to know what was happening to the money Hawass was reaping from his book tours, lectures, as well as his television appearances.
