Your experience will be be enriched in the capable hands of Dr. Chahina Karim, Egyptologist, Art Historian and Professor at the American University in Cairo.

Since childhood, Chahinda’s passion for Egyptology grew as she learned from her father, a prominent expert in the field. This  inspiration culminated in a Masters from the American University in Cairo and a Doctorate from Cairo University.

For 14 years, Journeys of the Mind tour participants have called Chahinda the “Treasure of Egypt”.   As your on-site lecturer and guide, Egypt comes alive as she integrates Egyptology with archaeology, art, history and culture; creating meaningful connections to all of the sights of  Egypt.  A delightful, personable and down-to-earth lecturer, she communicates her knowledge brilliantly as she inspires real learning.

“Dr. Karim is gifted in her knowledge and ability to blend the latest archaeological theories with the spirit of ancient Egypt.  She inspires a deep appreciation for the grandeur and complexity of Egypt’s art and architecture, both past and present, and is uniquely educated and experienced to meet the intellectual demands of the discerning traveler.”
