Peter is a great host, he is really good at explaining and translating what is happening. I really enjoyed being able to interact with the locals on a deeper level through Peter translating. I also enjoyed following him around while he did some errands and interacting with the local people of the village. The people of the village are all super friendly and welcoming, they are super excited to interact with you. The whole family is also super friendly and nice. Peter has some interesting opinions on different topics but I found it very interesting to understand his mindset. The food is basic but it is what they eat themselves, which adds to the experience for me. Overall, the experience is an authentic look into village life and I recommend it to anyone. If Peter is available to give you a tour, then the value for money is fantastic.

In retrospect, I would not recommend Minya to non-egyptians unless you are a hard-core Ancient Egypt nut, and/or the Akhenaton museum finally opens. (I went on the impression it was open but I was misinformed, and disappointed!) The sites in the region are underwhelming when time could be better spent somewhere else. Tell El Amarna is decent but you will no longer be taken to Akhenaton's tomb since it was flooded and damaged by rains a few years ago. Beni Hassan has artwork which is unique in Pharaonic Egypt but not sure its worth a dedicated trip. Expect a police escort everywhere you go: from train station to hotel, walking along corniche, taxi tour etc. Its annoying.

Good base for exploring Amarna and Beni Hasan.
Good base for exploring Amarna and Beni Hasan. Corniche is very nice. Hopefully Akhenaten Museum will reopen soon. Conservative area, so alcohol is not readily available. People are very friendly without being pushy.
