Lotte Tour Development has launched a guided Egypt package timed for the comfortable travel season (November–March), including round-trip business-class tickets with Turkish Airlines. The piece spotlights the discovery of Tutankhamun’s intact tomb (KV62) by Howard Carter in 1922, which yielded some 5,000 artifacts—most famously the gold funerary mask and a small dried flower wreath likely placed by his wife Ankhesenamun. Visitors can experience the tomb’s painted funerary scenes in the Valley of the Kings and view many treasures now displayed at the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses over 100,000 items across Egypt’s 5,000-year history (including an 11m statue of Ramses II and a dedicated Tutankhamun gallery). Lotte’s itinerary visits major sites—Giza pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Philae Temple, Abu Simbel, and Tutankhamun’s tomb—and includes full-flat business seats, in-flight “Flying Chef” service, noise-canceling headphones, and branded amenity kits. Prices start from KRW 8,490,000 to 10,290,000 with promotions up to KRW 400,000 off; bookings via Lotte Tour’s Europe team or website.
