After a bite of local breakfast, we'll move on to the Asyūţ Necropolis. These burial grounds whisper tales of persons of lore, dating back to the Middle Kingdom. How does a late lunch at a riverside café sound? Great, isn't it? Then we're off to the local museum to discover an array of artefacts that will help paint a better picture of Egypt’s ancient Mediterranean region. With the sun bidding us goodbye, we'll head to a traditional Egyptian eatery to cap the day off in authentic style.
