Whether you are an aspiring tourist guide seeking professional experience or a student eager to enhance your knowledge of Egyptology, this program provides the perfect platform to bring your learning to life.
Who is it for?
- Tourist Guides:
If you’re a tourist guide or looking to become one, our field training offers you the chance to sharpen your skills in interpreting and presenting Egypt’s history to visitors. You’ll learn how to craft compelling narratives about historical landmarks, explain the significance of ancient artifacts, and confidently lead tours at archaeological sites and museums. - Students:
Our program is also designed for students of Egyptology, archaeology, history, or related fields. It’s an invaluable supplement to your academic studies, allowing you to apply classroom knowledge to real-world contexts. Explore Egypt’s ancient wonders up close, deepen your understanding of its heritage, and gain practical experience that will set you apart in your studies and future career.
What You’ll Learn
The Field Training Program is structured to provide you with a wide range of knowledge and skills:
- Practical Experience at Historical Sites
Participants will spend time at key historical locations like the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, Saqqara, and Luxor. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you’ll learn how to interpret the significance of these sites, their history, and their relevance in today’s world. You’ll gain an insider’s view of these monuments, learning not just their historical facts but how to present this information engagingly to different audiences. - Communication Skills for Tourist Guides
One of the most important aspects of being a tourist guide is your ability to communicate clearly and effectively. As part of the field training, you’ll practice guiding small groups and larger tours. You’ll also learn how to tailor your approach based on the interests of the group, whether they’re families, academics, or casual tourists. Confidence-building exercises are integrated to help you manage groups, answer questions, and handle unexpected situations. - Research and Observation
For students, research is a key part of the field training. You’ll be encouraged to observe specific artifacts, inscriptions, or architectural features, taking notes and documenting what you find. This allows you to apply the skills you’ve learned in your studies to a real-world context, helping you to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Students may also collaborate on small projects, presenting their findings to their peers and instructors. - Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity
Being a successful tourist guide or student of Egyptology requires a deep understanding of not only history but also the modern cultural significance of ancient sites. You’ll learn how to present Egypt’s history in a way that respects both its ancient past and its contemporary cultural context. This is particularly important when guiding international visitors, as you’ll need to communicate the relevance of Egypt’s history in a way that resonates with different cultures.
