On the west bank of the Nile, facing the ancient capital Thebes, stands a valley of tombs. The tombs of pharaohs and their most powerful nobles. It is possibly the greatest necropolis in the world. For almost 500 years, ruler followed ruler into this hillside, accompanied by dazzling treasures and surrounded by the most sublime art.

We shall explore the history of the valley and its denizens ( ! ), marvelling at the greatest masterpieces and piecing together their meaning.

NB This is a freelance course, and cannot be run as Robert’s in-venue courses have been in the past. So that we can establish whether we are able to run the course without making a financial loss, we’d be grateful if you could complete your registration with payment within 14 days of booking. Payment is via BACS or cheque (details for which will be sent when we receive your booking).

Should the course not attract sufficient interest to run, we’ll contact all who have registered, and full refunds will be issued.

If you have not registered beforehand and want to turn up and pay on the day, please be aware that the course will not run if there are not enough registrations to render it feasible. You are, of course, very welcome to decide to attend at the last minute, but do please be sure to contact us before making any plans or journeys, to check that it is indeed taking place as we hope that it will.
