I led my first tour to Egypt in 2005, and now that I’m freelance I’m finding I have more time for this kind of work than I ever had before. I’m very pleased about this not least as in the last few years it’s taken me not only to Egypt but to Sudan.

A list of my next few trips is below. I hope some of you might feel inspired to come along!
