The area covered includes Egypt, the Levant, the Red Sea coast of the Arabian Peninsula and Sudan, and northwards through Iraq, to Türkiye, Armenia, Greece and the Balkans.
Each of the seminars is based on a particular theme, and as part of any seminar, we also aim to include visits to relevant sites, museums, libraries etc., and to hold related exhibitions and discussions.
