Overview

Many people know the name of Tanis from the movies, but few tourists ever visit the site itself. Travel to the eastern Nile Delta and explore the ancient city of Tanis, once an important royal capital of Egypt. Wander among the ruins of grand temples, colossal statues, towering obelisks and the extraordinary royal tombs of the 21st and 22nd Dynasties, where a now-famous royal tomb was found intact. With a professional Egyptologist guide, you’ll uncover the story of a city that rose and fell at the very edge of the Nile Delta — a genuinely off-the-beaten-path adventure.
