With exclusive access, expert insights and exceptional accommodation, Archaeological Paths offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience ancient Egypt’s most iconic and enigmatic sites, all through the lens of renowned archaeologists.

With esteemed figures like Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mostafa Waziri, one of Egypt’s Heads of Antiquities, as VIP experts, Archaeological Paths proudly presents guests with the incredible opportunity to meet and learn from living legends of Egyptology.

A globally renowned luxury tour operator, Archaeological Paths offers a unique gateway to the ancient world, granting privileged access to Egypt’s epochal landmarks. Imagine walking between the paws of the Great Sphinx, an experience typically reserved for royalty and heads of state. This is not a distant view from a crowded platform but a close-up moment with one of the world’s most mysterious monuments. Here, guests are not just passive observers; they become active participants in discovering Egypt’s rich history. Rare encounters like this are just one of the many perks of joining a tour with Archaeological Paths, a company that’s made a name for itself with its inimitable approach to travel.

Not your run-of-the-mill tour operator, Archaeological Paths takes intrepid travellers past the usual tourist trails, inviting them to step beyond the ordinary with exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours. With private access to the Giza Pyramids, the Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings and King Tut’s Tomb outside of opening hours, guests are guaranteed a peaceful, crowd-free experience. Even a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the most significant archaeological museum in the world, is made more magical with Archaeological Paths: guests are invited to explore 7,000 years of history in the company of the museum’s director, uncovering stories and secrets that are not available to the general public.

But the exclusivity doesn’t stop there. One of Archaeological Paths’ highlights is the chance to tour active excavation sites that are typically off-limits. Among these is the Lost Golden City, hailed as the most significant discovery in Egypt this century. Visiting such sites provides an extraordinary window into the unending work that goes into unearthing Egypt’s ancient secrets.

As much as these tours are about the places, they are also about the people who bring these landmarks to life. Archaeological Paths proudly offers guests the remarkable opportunity to meet and learn from living legends of Egyptology. Esteemed figures like Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr Mostafa Waziri, one of Egypt’s Heads of Antiquities, accompany guests as VIP experts, sharing their profound knowledge and beyond-the-guidebook insights. Direct engagement with experts adds a layer of depth and authenticity to the experience, as travellers learn firsthand about the latest discoveries and ongoing excavations. This transforms each tour into a dynamic, educational adventure, making the ancient world come alive in new and exciting ways.

With Archaeological Paths, this journey through Egypt is not reserved only for the historical sites but also for experiencing the country in the utmost luxury. Guests stay in historic hotels, such as the prestigious Marriott Mena House, nestled in the shadow of the Giza Pyramids. Waking up to the sight of these ancient wonders, a panorama that has inspired explorers for centuries, is an encounter that can’t easily be beaten. The luxury continues with a cruise down the Nile in a lavish vessel designed for comfort and pleasure. Guests can relax in spacious suites with private balconies, dine on gourmet meals prepared by top chefs, and enjoy personalised service as they soak up Egypt’s timeless landscapes.

Archaeological Paths also prioritises luxury accommodations, with guests staying in historic hotels such as the prestigious Marriott Mena House, nestled in the shadow of the Giza Pyramids.

Always striving to deliver the best for its guests, Archaeological Paths’ commitment to providing incomparable experiences has not gone unnoticed. The company has received Travelers’ Choice awards from TripAdvisor for six consecutive years and has been endorsed by VIPs, including presidents, royalty and Hollywood stars. Its recognition by respected organisations such as the American Society of Travel Advisors and the World Travel & Tourism Council further solidifies its reputation for excellence.

In addition to offering five-star tours, Archaeological Paths is involved in several cultural and humanitarian projects. The company supports local charity programmes, produces TV documentaries, and arranges scientific conferences, world lecture tours and exhibitions. One notable event the company organised was Dr Zahi Hawass’ 2023 Grand Lecture Tour across the United States, the most extensive lecture tour on history and archaeology to date. It captivated nearly 30,000 attendees in 23 major cities in the United States, showcasing the latest groundbreaking discoveries and research live on stage. Such initiatives highlight Archaeological Paths’ dedication to education and public engagement, making the wonders of ancient Egypt accessible to a broader audience and ensuring they continue to inspire future generations.

Archaeological Paths has also forged partnerships with luxury brands and has been featured in high-end publications. The company’s collaboration with the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club and Bentley Motors’ centennial celebrations underscores its prestigious status. Even royals entrust Archaeological Paths to add that little something special, with the company participating in the 70th birthday festivities of Prince Charles and the 300 Years of Leadership and Innovation — Royal Edition publication in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth’s 95th birthday. These partnerships, paired with the company’s transcendent tours, undoubtedly position Archaeological Paths as a leader in the field of luxury travel and cultural exploration.
