WELCOME
You are invited to join me and renowned Egyptologist 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 (3000 BC) built the Great Pyramids as tombs, we will examine 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 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 from experience 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 enigmatic parts of each ancient site. From cruising down the Nile river, to soaring over the Luxor sunrise in a hot-air-balloon, 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 of Giza, where we will explore every chamber and passageway! I hope that you will join us. – Derek Olson (Megalithic Marvels founder)

Is Egypt a safe country to visit? Tourism is Egypt’s number one industry as approximately 10 million tourists visit this amazing country each year. Therefore, you will find that Egypt is friendly to westerners and most of the Egyptian people are kind and hospitable. Women do not need to wear head coverings, and there is much western influence within the cities. For example, you will see many young women walking and shopping by themselves at night. On our previous tour, 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.

Do I need travel insurance? It is recommended that you purchase travel insurance for your own peace of mind in order to get reimbursed for your international flights in the event you are unable to come for some reason.

Can I have my own (single) room during the trip? Yes. The single room cost is $5,200.
