Going to Egypt is a chance of a lifetime. If you want to get the most out of your experience, I highly recommend that you allow Egyptologist Sam to show you ancient Egypt through his eyes. Sam has an incredible knowledge of the thousands of years of layered history that most people would miss without a skilled guide. Rather than being dry or overwhelming, Sam conveys information through storytelling and experiential learning. Utilizing every moment, he gives the historical context prior to arriving to a site and then he walks you through the location pointing out fascinating details, reading and interpreting hieroglyphs, and answering questions along the way. Sam is peaceful and kind. I was in a group of 30 that had a wide range of age and physical ability. Sam was mindful of the needs of each person in the group. Those who needed a slower pace were able to enjoy their experience, and those of us who were eager to keep moving and learn as much as we could were filled with a plethora of knowledge that I will be unpacking for weeks to come. Sam is also a photographer and was willing to capture beautiful pictures for us along the way.
Sam’s passion and enthusiasm for Egypt’s ancient history will elevate your trip to the next level.
