Guests can go on tour with HMNS! HMNS plans educational trips to international destinations.
Dr. Zahi Hawass, world-renowned Egyptologist, is hosting a trip of a lifetime for HMNS. Dr. Hawass will take guests beyond the beaten tourist path to visit hidden archeological sites not accessible to the general public. This will include a private visit to the Great Pyramid interior and the great Sphinx in Cairo. While in Luxor City, the group will have an exclusive evening in the Temple of Luxor after the tourists have been cleared. Dr. Hawass will show his most recent excavations on the Giza Plateau as well as the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. His presence is essential for the private access we will be given to these sites.
