Group programmes
One purpose, planned for the whole group.
A class that should see what it studies, a team that needs time together, a retreat that needs quiet. Start with what the trip is for; we build the days from tours and experiences we already know, sized to your group, whatever its size.
Schools & universities
Walk with an archaeologist
History, religious studies, geography and science classes see the places they study, led by a qualified Egyptologist, with a field archaeologist where one is available. Students look, measure, sketch and question. There is no digging: excavation in Egypt is for licensed missions, and we do not sell it.
South of Cairo · One full day
Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis with an expert
From the first stone pyramid to the Red Pyramid's burial chamber: how pyramid building was learned by trial and error, told on the ground where it happened.
Giza and Cairo · One or two days
The museum as a classroom
The Giza plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum on one day; the royal mummies and Old Cairo on another. Worksheets and questions agreed with teachers beforehand.
Wadi El Hitan, Fayoum · One full day from Cairo
Whales in the desert: a science day
Fossil whales with legs lie on the desert floor of a UNESCO World Heritage Site: evolution, geology and climate change seen along a set, guided trail.
Aswan to Luxor · Four days or longer
The Nile as a lesson in geography
A river that made a country: dams, farmland, temples and towns seen in sequence from the water, with an expert aboard for the site visits.
What we confirm before anything is arranged
- The expert's qualifications, and whether a field archaeologist can join
- Adult-to-student ratios and who supervises at night
- A written risk assessment for each site and journey
- Medical, dietary and accessibility needs for every student
- Site permissions and timed entry for large groups

Saqqara desert edge · Half a day
A desert morning near the pyramids
Quads along the desert edge with the pyramids of Saqqara on the horizon; an energetic start before an afternoon of meetings in Cairo.

Siwa Oasis · Four nights or longer
Siwa: salt lakes and the Great Sand Sea
Floating in the salt lakes, springs among the palms, and the dunes of the Great Sand Sea at dusk. The UK government's travel advice names Siwa as an exception in the Western Desert.
Built from
Dahab, South Sinai · Five nights or longer
Dahab: breath and the sea
Morning practice by the water, a first freediving course for those who want it, and Mount Sinai at sunrise for those who do not mind an early start.
Farafra, Western Desert · Two days
Sunrise in the White Desert
A night in camp and a practice at first light among the chalk formations, far from any town.

Small events our own team runs.
Added to any programme, or run on their own for a group already in Egypt. Dates and terms are confirmed for each group; nothing here is on sale yet.
An evening with an Egyptologist
The night before the sites: what the group will see, why it matters, and the questions worth asking. Suits schools and company groups alike.
A day in the field with an expert
One site, studied properly: a qualified Egyptologist leads, the group looks closely, and nobody is rushed to the next stop.
A private desert evening
A camp supper on the desert edge, a telescope when the sky is clear, and no other groups.
Your Egypt, your pace
Tell us about your group
Who is travelling, what the trip is for and roughly when. We reply with a proposed programme, what we still need to confirm, the total price, inclusions and terms.
