Archaeological Paths is dedicated to making a real difference in archaeology and related fields. We are an active supporter of Dr. Hawass’ large-scale excavation projects at Egypt’s most important sites, such as the Valley of the Kings. We are involved in a variety of activities that promote the archaeology of Egypt, from book publishing and documentary production to organizing world lecture tours, conferences, and exhibitions.

No one can tour Egypt like Archaeological Paths. With them, you’ll be able to visit many unique sites that very few people get to see. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I do believe that the name of this company should go down in history, written in gold, for its contribution to promoting the legacy of ancient Egypt.
