The trip to El Minya takes over four hours one-way from Cairo and is the overnight stop-over where you can visit Tuna El Gabal, Tel El Amarna and Beni Hassan. I originally wanted to continue up from …SusanC4948的完整评论

This place does not have the impressive buildings you often see in Egypt, but it is historically important. The main thing is the tomb of Akhenaton.Craig H的完整评论

Take the train to Mallawi from Asyut or Minya. Be polite to the police who will approach you. Once in Mallawi bargain and hire a taxi to the site for at least four hours. Something like 12$ in EGP will do. Keep small change ready for baksheesh at the tombs. The new road on the erst sife of the Nile is now open and simplifies everything.
The best way to get there. Wehad thought about the train from giza ( after we have done the pyramids ( all of them ) get out at Minya and stay the night then pick up a taxi for thr juirney to and from Amarna, like to spend a full day there if poss. stay back at Minya for the night then hope catch train and continue on to Aswan

I cannot comment on the train journey or accommodations in Minya. I hired a guide and day tripped from Cairo in spring 2015 (conditions may be different now). Long drive through the desert (a good experience, too). Amarna is very spread out, lots to see. There were levels of armed security at the main road gate, park entrance, and throughout the site. Having a guide and car was a must. One or more full days would be great. I recommend connecting with Barry Kemp of the Amarna Project to see what the conditions are before you go. Unfortunately, Kemp was not there, when I visited. Since you are going to stay nearby, you may have an opportunity to experience far more, with greater access to current recovery work, than I. In terms of access, I was not able to wander around un-escorted by security at Amarna (except at the Aten Temple, where I walked around alone). That meant, one armed guard with us in the car, and typically one or more at each tomb, to open the doors and protect the artifacts. Be prepared to tip or have a guide that handles it. For me, everything was very relaxed and accommodating. As with most sites in Egypt, photography inside the tombs is not permitted (but can be arranged). Amarna is a wonderful historic site, and should be experienced by more people. But given the logistics it is not setup for the casual tourist.
Hi! You mentioned the stairs in the North Tomb. How many and how difficult are they?
答:
Not so much diffucult as a long way. in 2011, my friend who was recovering from knee surgery had to pass on the North Tombs, due to the length of the stair. I'll post a photo.
