OI Armchair Travelers: Sudan, Exploring Ancient Nubia

Visit Sudan and the lands of ancient Nubia from the comfort of your easy chair! As you make plans for a return to travel, join OI tour leader Emily Teeter as she guides us from Khartoum to Abu Simbel, a route traveled by OI founder James Henry Breasted. Along the way, Emily opens up the reality of traveling in Sudan and explains how the history is an impressive way to experience the ancient cultures that shape the landscape. This tour revisits the OI's 2018 trip, and anticipates our 2020 tour: The Ultimate Nile, Khartoum to Cairo. The OI Armchair Travelers series is designed to give you a taste of OI tours. Led by academics, OI tours bring you up close to the ancient world. Traveling with the OI gives you unparalleled behind the scenes access, and the opportunity to experience the sites while examining current fieldwork.
