The Egypt Exploration Society - British Embassy reception

The EES has been working in Egypt since 1882. Our aim is to make all aspects of the culture of ancient and historic Egypt (to 1900 AD) better known to the public.

Our fieldwork and research is undertaken in Egypt itself and the results of this work are made available through our website (www.ees.ac.uk), our publications, and through events held in London and Cairo.

The Society is a registered UK charity and relies on subscriptions and donations to fund its work. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in ancient Egypt.

British Embassy reception

On Thursday 8 May the British Ambassador in Cairo, Dominic Asquith, kindly hosted a reception at the Embassy to celebrate the Society’s 125th Anniversary. The reception was timed to coincide with the Anniversary tour of Egypt by around 30 EES members who attended the event, together with Cairo members and friends of the Society. Other invited guests included officials from the SCA, the Egyptian Museum, Cairo University and foreign archaeological institutes in Cairo.

The Society is very grateful to HE The Ambassador for hosting the event and to the Ambassador’s Social Secretary, Ms Zeinab Sabaa, for organising everything so efficiently.
