You are invited to join me and renowned researcher, author and tour guide Mohamed Ibrahim for the adventure of a lifetime – a 12 day expedition to see & touch the world’s greatest super structures on the 2023 Megalithic Marvels of Egypt Tour. While mainstream history tells us that the dynastic Egyptians (3200-30 BC) built the Great Pyramids as tombs, we will exam the evidence that points to an advanced civilization that predated the pharaonic dynasties and who used lost ancient technology to engineer these mega-ton wonders. On this tour you will receive exclusive access to see and touch these megaliths, learn about the hidden history of Egypt and meet new friends in a friendly and inclusive environment. Pulling from his 20+ years of guiding tours, I can say first hand that Mohamed puts a personal touch on his tours and will take us where most tourists never go – to eat the best local food, to stay at some of the nicest hotels and to see the most mesmerizing parts of each ancient site. From cruising down the Nile river, to soaring in a hot air balloon over the Luxor sunrise, to riding camels alongside the Giza pyramids – our Egypt adventure will culminate with a two hour long (after hours) private visit inside the most mysterious structure on earth – the Great Pyramid, where we will explore every chamber and passageway! I hope that you will join us. – Derek Olson (Megalithic Marvels founder)

Therefore you will find that Egypt is very friendly to westerners and that the Egyptian people are kind and hospitable. Women do not need to where head coverings. On our tour last year, we were perfectly safe and had zero safety concerns or issues. Most larger tours, such as ours, will also have a private security guard to assist us along the way.
