CELEBRATING 135 YEARS OF THE EGYPT EXPLORATION SOCIETY

One of the oldest societies working in Egypt and the most unique as it is a charity funded by its enthusiastic and loyal subscribers, the Society was founded by Amelia Edwards to record and document the archaeology and history of Egypt.
To celebrate its birthday, the British Consulate in Alexandria held a reception in their garden, hosted by the Consulate General Wendy Freeman and the Director of the EES, Cédric Gobeil. Canapés, soft drinks and further collegiate discussion - the perfect end to an intensive and busy day.
