Birding in the land of the Pharaos
During the four winter seasons 2002-2006, October to April, I was working as a tour guide in Egypt. I lived in the Red Sea resort village of El Gouna, just north of Hurghada. Totally two years of living, working and birdwatching in this fascinating country gave me a lot of experience. This I now use to hold lectures and slide shows as well as arranging birding trips to Egypt. I am also a board member of the Egyptian Ornithological Rarities Committee.

My own four seasons of birdwatching in the country while working as a tour guide has resulted in this compilation:

Since I finished with the guide job and moved back to Sweden, I have arranged these group trips to Egypt. See the trip reports for:
