This is such a good article about Egypt.

'After a lifetime of seeing photos of the Great Pyramid, the oldest in Giza and the sole survivor of the seven wonders of the ancient world, I think I know what it’ll be like in person. I do not. The scale and the texture and the way the light hits it as the sun reflects off the surrounding desert and dips in and out of the clouds is something you have to feel.'

An epic destination where ancient and modern combine.

The reason we named our tour 'Jewels of the Nile and the Mediterranean' is to showcase the natural beauty of the area. However, it seemed natural to also include a visit to the Royal Jewellery Museum.

Displaying the collectibles of the Egyptian royal family, the museum was once the palace of Princess Fatima Al-Zahra, whose family once ruled Egypt. When the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 occurred, the Princess was allowed to reside there until she ceded the palace in 1964. In 1983, the Royal collection of jewels were all taken to the palace, and the museum was opened shortly after.

The palace serves as a striking backdrop to the magnificent possessions owned by the family. The possessions amassed by the family over the period of their rule are on display in the various halls. The lavish lifestyle of the family is reflected in a gold chessboard, golden binoculars encrusted with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and gold cups inlaid with precious stones. Also on display are elaborate jewellery sets commissioned by the greatest designers in Europe, which once adorned the queens and princesses of Egypt’s royal family.

Visiting a country where the language isn't your own means it's always useful to learn a few terms to make your trip a more memorable - the locals will always appreciate the time you take to communicate!

This month, let's recap on what we're learned over the past few months.

So far we have learned:

Hello - Salaam ‘aleikum
How are you? - Kayfa Haluka
My name is *name* - Ismii *name*
I'm from *country* - Anā min *country*

What would you like to learn next?

On this tour, you'll have the chance to see the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun. No doubt you’ve seen it many times before in media, but nothing compares to seeing it in real life.

Made of gold and semi-precious stones, the mask was found with the rest of Tutankhamun’s astonishing funerary assemblage by Howard Carter in 1922, and is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and famous historical artefacts in the world.

This month, let's continue on with introducing ourselves. We have already said 'Ismii... (my name is...)'. Egypt is often considered a crossroads of the world, so people of many different countries arrive all the time. Tell the locals where you're from by saying 'Anā min *country*'

Easy, right?

In this Archeological Tour in Egypt, we explore the story of Akhenten - the heretic Pharaoh. In his less than 20 year reign, he managed to impact our country forever. Described both as revolutionary and possibly insane, Akhenten is a part of Egyptian history often overlooked, yet completely compelling.

Nowadays, it's hard to think of a time when people didn't know about Tutankhamun. He has become such an iconic figure of ancient Egypt that it seems knowledge of his life and reign has always been there. Yet it was not always so.

In fact, until 1922 his entire existence was lost to the annals of time, and research shows that much like his father, King Akhenaten, records of his reign were quickly erased, leaving the wider world ignorant of his achievements until Howard Carter discovered his tomb, and reestablished The Boy King as an important figure in Ancient Egyptian history.

While we believe it is always time to celebrate King Tutunkhamun, this year is especially meaningful as the 100th anniversary of the rediscovery of his tomb.

The Pharaoh's life and reign is a fascinating and ever evolving tale, as scientific progress enables the uncovering of what remained hidden for so long. Revelations of both the culture and history of not only the man himself, but the world around him, are still ongoing and we believe it'll be a very long time before the fascination around this iconic ruler is abated.

Join us as we discover the unique blend of ancient history and the most modern of research methods tell the tale of the Boy King.
