Each ancient Egypt workshop is designed to give children context and an overview of the topic covered. We begin our visit with an interactive timeline activity and a short introduction to the chronology and geography.
Our Egyptian Workshops can be held entirely within classrooms. We arrive with two specialists, who will lead themed sessions for up to 2 classes. If working with three or more classes, we provide an activity for staff to lead which children and staff cycle through so that they experience all of the activities we offer during the day.
Our exciting and innovative VR and AR (virtual and augmented reality) sessions are always very popular. Using the latest technology, children explore the world of Ancient Egypt: visit the inside of Rameses VI tomb in the Valley of the Kings; the Great Pyramids of Giza; the temple of Karnak and Rameses the Great's temple at Abu Simbel as well as Hatshepsut's mortuary temple and much much more.
