MY NAME IS AYMAN ADLY. I AM EGYPTIAN BY BIRTH AND I AM NOW PERMANENTLY RESIDENT IN THE UK. I WORK PART TIME AS AN EGYPTOLOGY TUTOR IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
I GRADUATED AS AN EGYPTOLOGIST IN 1983. I WAS THEN EMPLOYED BY THE EGYPTIAN MINISTRY OF ANTIQUITIES FOR TWO YEARS. DURING MY TIME WITH THE DEPARTMENT I CARRIED OUT RESTORATION WORK AT VARIOUS TEMPLES.
I THEN STUDIED TO GAIN A DIPLOMA IN TOURISM AND TOUR GUIDING. UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE, I WAS LICENSED TO WORK AS A TOUR GUIDE IN UPPER EGYPT AND I DID SO FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. I VISITED ALL THE HISTORICAL SITES IN UPPER EGYPT WITH MY CLIENTS GIVING DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE MONUMENTS. I PARTICULARLY LIKED THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS AND VISITING THE FASCINATING TOMBS WITHIN THE ROCK FACE.
MANY TOURISTS ARE OF COURSE AWARE OF THE FAMOUS TOMB OF KING TUT AS DISCOVERED BY HOWARD CARTER IN 1922. THIS TOMB IS SMALL AND QUITE INSIGNIFICANT WHEN COMPARED WITH MORE MAGNIFICENT TOMBS WITHIN THE VALLEY, FOR EXAMPLE THE TOMB OF SETI I , WHERE THE RELIEF'S ARE BEAUTIFUL AND STILL IN A GOOD STATE OF PRESERVATION.
I HAVE DESIGNED AND PRODUCED THIS WEBPAGE, TO HELP STUDENTS IN THEIR STUDY OF EGYPTOLOGY AND HIEROGLYPHICS.
