Mission Statement

The American Research Center in Egypt, Pennsylvania Chapter, aims to educate the citizens of Pennsylvania and the greater Philadelphia region about the culture and history of Egypt from the ancient through Islamic Periods. We educate through lectures, workshops, tours, and social events. Our events are led by top scholars and specialists in Egyptology and Islamic studies; however, we aim to find speakers and topics which are accessible, interesting, and fun to all audiences. We also strive to provide a community in which professionals in the field and non-professionals, of all ages, can share their knowledge, interest, and love for Egypt.
