In December 2025, Dr. Michael Faris and Debra Faris journeyed through Egypt, exploring its extraordinary ancient monuments and vibrant modern culture. This illustrated lecture features stunning images of pyramids, rock-cut tombs, statues, and hieroglyphs, while weaving in personal travel experiences from across the country.

Dr. Faris shares practical insights on passports and visas, transportation, local customs, food, camel rides, and what to expect when touring historic sites. Alongside these travel reflections, he offers an engaging art historical perspective on mastabas, pyramids, funerary beliefs, and the artistic achievements of ancient Egyptian society.
