There can be no doubt any longer – our 2013 fieldseason has definitly ended, it’s time to say goodbye to Sudan, my bags are already packed for an early flight tomorrow morning to Egypt!

I will spend two more weeks visiting Pharaonic sites in Upper Egypt – among others, brief visits to Abydos and Elephantine are on my list, the sites that compare in so many respects nicely with Sai Island and share a special importance in the 18th Dynasty.
