Few countries in the world can boast as much archaeological majesty as Egypt. The visual splendor and spectacle of its ancient remains arguably beg to be placed on most everyone’s must-see bucket list.
From April 14 through April 26, 2027, Popular Archaeology Magazine will be collaborating with EF (Education First) Go Ahead Tours to host a group to explore most of Egypt’s grandest and most treasured sites and artifacts.
Says Dan McLerran, Founder and Editor of Popular Archaeology Magazine, “this will be the first time Popular Archaeology has cooperated with a major tour operator in Egypt. Rather than limit our exploration of this magnificent ancient civilization only to the pages of the magazine, we want to bring our readers and other interested enthusiasts to the land itself, to experience, in real-place, real-time fashion, the wonders that most people have only read about in the popular literature.”
The group will be transported and led, by land and by Nile cruise vessel, to the pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Saqqara, Dahshur, Luxor, Abydos, the Valley of the Kings, and many other iconic sites and locations that constituted the monumental face of ancient Northern and Southern Egypt. A viewing of the spectacular tomb treasures of Tutankhamun and a walk into the actual tomb of Tutankhamun will be among the many highlights of the trip. And for those who wish, the group visit will continue on for an optional 4 days in Jordan to explore ancient Petra, the Dead Sea and sites in Amman.
“Some have seen these wonders, perhaps more than once in their lives. But for most of us, and for most of the people who will travel with me on this journey, it will be the first and only trip of a lifetime. Along with an Egytpologist group leader, I will be there to share this experience with you.”
For more detailed information about this opportunity and for instructions on how to join, see the website. Individuals who register between now through July 1, 2025 will receive $150 off the total cost of the tour.
