 Travel with our mentors and try out all of the latest equipment from Nikon! Including world class digital SLRs, Nikkor lenses and the Coolpix line of Digital Cameras.
 Across the great desert lands of Egypt, surrounded by kings and pharaohs, vestiges of ancient civilization stand frozen in time. Capture the pristine beauty and preserved antiquity of the Middle East when Popular Photography embarks on a ten-day excursion to Egypt.
With the Great Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza as your backdrop, allow the special events team and Nikon professionals Karen Kasmauski and Mark Edward Harris to guide you through the land of the pharaohs. Begin your photography workshop in the capital city of Cairo and view the treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Observe the ancient art of the bargain at Khan el-Khalili, join in a game of backgammon, sample from a selection of aromatic teas, and photograph the exciting drum of local life at Cairo’s famous marketplace.
Next stop is the city of Aswan, where we’ll capture the Fellukah (local sailboats) and the picturesque sights of this small city located on the banks of the Nile River. From Aswan, we’ll embark on the cruise vessel, the HS Royal Lily. Before cruising north along the Nile, we explore the island temple of Philae and view the quarries that provided the foundation of Egypt’s great obelisks and pyramids for thousands of years. Join visitors from around the world to explore the Valley of the Kings, a repository of tombs providing the final burial place for Egyptian pharaohs and nobility for nearly five hundred years—The tomb of King Tutankhamun was discovered here in 1922, almost wholly preserved from the 14th Century BC.
For an unforgettable sunrise shoot, climb the 3,500 steps to Mount Sinai and capture the hallowed and breathtaking scenery below. As the ten-day photography workshop comes to an end, remember the cool desert air and quiet mystery of the Nile through photo images that will last a lifetime.
