I was determined to find this building on a visit to Leeds about 15yrs ago. I was there, minding my own business & taking photos (in broad daylight) when police arrived and escorted me back to the main road due to it being in a 'dangerous' red light area. I was furious as I'd only been there 5mins!

Love this 🥰 I use this little guy in my teaching for Classical Reception. Such a character!

Last one - if you study #Egyptology and/or are interested in ancient #Egypt in general, I wholeheartedly encourage you to learn a bit of #Egyptian #Arabic. It will open a whole new side of the country for you, and help you to see #Egypt in a whole new light (13/13)

As ever, this is my call to you all to visit this beautiful country. There really is something for everyone, you will receive a very warm welcome, and you'll spend the whole visit planning for the next one! #VisitEgypt (12/ )

Each time I've visited the #Tutankhamun galleries at the Egyptian Museum over the last few years, I've assumed it'll be the last time before the objects are moved to their shiny new home in the Grand Egyptian Museum. But this time it really will be, as the GEM is due to fully open in July! (11/ )

Poking around the #Egyptian Museum makes me so happy. I always find something new - parts of the permanent displays are changing all the time, and there are always new details and different perspectives to be found. Still my favourite #museum in Egypt! (10/ )

In contrast, #Karnak Temple is a heavy place which always gives me a headache! Not sure I believe in the energy of places, but if I did then I'd be convinced of Karnak's negative energy. It's too big and overbearing, in spite of the beautiful little corners of the site. Not a place for me 😬 (9/ )

To me, #Luxor Temple is one of the most perfect places in the world, especially at sunset. Not sure exactly why, but something about it being relatively small and straightforward to explore makes my brain happy (8/ )
