After curating many trips and hosting many friends from all over the world, i have finally decided to plan this expedition. This is more than just a trip; it's an experience designed for art lovers, curious minds, and creative souls.
We'll explore Egypt’s most iconic monuments and uncover its lesser-known artistic treasures — hidden gems that reveal the techniques, stories, and spirit of local craftsmanship. From ancient carvings to local artisan studios, you'll witness the evolution of Egyptian art firsthand in these 3 thoughtfully picked locations.
What makes this journey truly special is that you’ll have the rare opportunity to meet talented local artisans, and participate in curated workshops led by masters of their craft. Whether it's woodwork, etching, or pottery, each workshop is tailored to offer deep artistic insight and hands-on experience.
