We’ll then journey north to Cairo and spend a day visiting the Egyptian Museum to learn more about all of the ancient secrets that the Rosetta Stone unlocked on the anniversary of its discovery. We’ll then head north to visit Alexandria on the anniversary of the birth of this city’s namesake, Alexander the Great.

The Cleopatra Anniversary Trip
August 8 – August 15, 2018
On the 12th of August in 30 BC, the last dynasty of Pharaohs of Egypt came to an end when the great queen Cleopatra ended her life by allowing a snake to bite her arm as the mighty Roman navy laid siege to her glorious capital of Alexandria. August 12th of this year will mark the 2,048th anniversary of the great Cleopatra’s death and Egypt Elite will be honoring her memory with a specially planned trip to Egypt that will begin with a trip to her great capital of Alexandria on August 12th. After this special day in Cleopatra’s home city, we will continue our journey to the rest of Egypt to explore its millennia of ancient and modern history.
The Labor Day Trip
September 1 – September 8, 2018

The King Tut Anniversary Trip
November 23 – November 30, 2018
“Can you see anything?” Lord Carnarvon asked. “Yes, wonderful things,” Howard Carter replied. These are the most famous words in the history of archaeology as the discoverer of King Tut’s tomb peered beyond its sealed doors for the first time in more than 3,000 years. This trip is uniquely designed to take a small group of special guests to Egypt to be in Luxor and visit King Tut’s tomb on the 96th anniversary of these two incredible men entering the tomb of King Tut for the first time in over 3000 years. After that we’ll take you on a journey to see the rest of Egypt’s magnificent ancient wonders and modern marvels.
