Private Tour: Full-Day Trip to Tell-Basta and San El-Hagar from Cairo

Overview

On this private tour from Cairo, a qualified Egyptologist will guide you to two of ancient Egypt’s less-visited cities: Bubastis at Tell-Basta and Tanis at San el-Hagar. You will travel through the lush landscapes of the Nile Delta, taking in the countryside as you move between sites. The pace is focused on exploration and learning rather than large crowds. At Bubastis you will learn about the cult of the cat goddess Bastet and the role she played in ancient Egyptian religion. Your guide will explain the archaeological remains and the historical context that give the site its importance. At Tanis, often called a lost capital of Egypt, you will explore the ruins and hear about its place in the country’s past. Along the way the Egyptologist will provide background, answer questions and help you connect what you see to broader ancient Egyptian history.
