Study-Abroad Students



We LOVE trekking with the students - always learning from them. Here's a wonderful group of American art students - in Florence this semester - incredible energy and spirit....LOL

They actually did TWO treks - the first one a camel caravan around the Pyramids when they first arrived in Cairo --and they sketched EVERYTHING! Then after travelling to Luxor and RedSea, they returned and camped out on our new rooftop villa to catch a Pyramids sunrise, then trekked to Saqqara by Arabian horse - galloping across the Sahara! Here's what they wrote in our guestbook:

"Our EGYPT experience AMAZING!"
"Incredibly UNREAL experience!"
"You are wonderful people - beautiful energy!"
"Treasure this eye-opening experience! Thank you!"
"You guys made our Egypt experience so much better!"
