Egypt holds her secrets close. She is more than dust and stone, so much more than her mummies and museums, Sphinx and pharaohs. Her mysteries are in plain sight, and our tour leader Sarah Vidler knows the code. Travelling with Sarah transforms the experience; she draws out the layers of history, belief, and culture that most visitors never see.
When Sarah says, “Egypt changed my life”, she is serious. So serious, in fact, that as a history-obsessed young teen, she managed to persuade her father to take her there. The trip was world-changing, and completely altered the trajectory of her life, and the rest, quite literally, is history.
Sarah chased her enchantment by studying archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean, writing her Master’s thesis on Ancient Egyptian Goddesses, and has spent her life teaching, writing and immersing herself deeply in the culture and chronicles of these ancient times. When Sarah takes people to Egypt, they get to see and feel the place differently.

Sarah says, “It is easy to miss the true magic of its temples, stories, and incredible culture. Modern Egypt is built upon medieval Egypt, mediaeval Egypt is built upon ancient Egypt. There is depth, mythology and beautiful stories to be told. I love to take visitors just that one layer deeper, thousands of years back, to gain a sense of how Ancient Egyptian belief systems shaped how people lived, ruled and built their world”.
Sarah kindly handles any issue, quietly coordinates behinds the scenes and adds a stunning level of knowledge and insight to our Egypt, Morrocco and Nile Cruise tour. Travelling with Sarah deepens that experience. As our resident Egyptologist, she draws meaning from what you’re seeing and feeling, connecting stone, symbol, and story in ways most travellers never access.
