Overview

When I booked this holiday to Luxor and the Valley of The Kings, Egypt was just another military dictatorship that welcomed tourists to enjoy the marvels that the country boasts. Two weeks prior to departure, there were armed soldiers on the streets, a revolution taking place and most sensible tourists were heading in the opposite direction. Not for me however. This is the story of a remarkable trip to a land, not only full of archaeological marvels, but at this remarkable moment in history, home to a people full of hope after their Arab Spring. This is a light hearted travelogue about a week surrounded by temples, tombs and tanks.

Author Information

Born and raised in Berkshire, in the South East of England, Kevin Scott declined the offer of studying at Eton and ended up at one of the worst comprehensive schools in Bracknell. Somehow he managed to get a few A levels, and as he had a season ticket for Brighton and hove Albion Football Club, ended up at University there doing a History degree. History degrees are fairly useless, so mundane jobs were supplemented by a passion for writing comedy. A couple of successful TV submissions later, an Edinburgh Festival appearance and a pilot show for the BBC which saw him doing a ventriloquist act with a talking kebab, Kevin found his real vocation in life. Leaving the country. The accounts of his travels have previously been serialised for local talking newspapers for the blind and now by popular demand (by a group of blind octogenerians in Kent) are available in paperback. Kevin's writing combines a passion for history, a cynical view of the modern world and a silly sense of humour, resulting in an easily read narrative that is both entertaining and informative.
