We can offer support in both getting here to Luxor and also whilst you are here. Through running our own workshops and, of course, through living here we have a great group of people available for all kinds of support and help.

Julie is a New Zealander married to an Egyptian. She is an experienced tour organiser and together with her husband Yossef, who is a local taxi driver and knows everyone, can arrange any visits and trips that you need.

Sabbri is our boatman who ferries us across the Nile, and will be available to take your group, if you wish, on a relaxing journey up the river to the tropical Banana Island, were bananas taste like bananas.

Nearby a clump of papyrus growing at the road side marks The Nefertary Papyrus Centre owned by Sayed Farag who has studied the art of papyrus making since the age of six. It is one of the best places to buy genuine paintings from the tombs and temples on true papyrus parchment. Sayed is a well known figure in the Luxor community and is always there to give us any help that we need.

Farag is our hard working helper, serving refreshments, cleaning up and making sure that the space is perfect for your work.

Accommodation for the facilitators is provided at the centre. For delegates, we can arrange high standard apartments or 5 star hotels all at very good prices.

Compared to towns and cities in the UK, EUROPE and the USA, you'll find Egypt very safe.

No drunks, no violence, no gangs, no fights, no theft, just friendly smiles and the greeting "welcome".

Prepare yourself to get hassled to buy goods or take taxi rides to where you don't want to go, or perhaps invited to ride in a "calesh" (horse and carriage) to the market etc.

The Egyptian way is "La Shokran" (no thank you) with a laugh, joke and a smile.

Egyptian people instinctively know the spiritual truths that we of the West are trying to remember. This is beyond any religious beliefs; it is what they know from the land and the truths held here.

If you require information when making your booking on visas, health, vaccinations and generally on living here, please let us know and we will quite happily forward that information to you.

We also have a list of web sites that offer very good flights.
