Field Trip Schedule

Our 2026 Egypt on the Potomac Field Trip season has been delayed due to repairs and the partial closure of Meridian Hill Park, which is where one-third of the Field Trip is conducted. We have been informed that repairs at Meridian Hill Park will not be completed until September 30. As a result, we are only able to offer Field Trips on October 3rd and November 7th this season.

Field trips will be available at 10 AM and 2 PM. Please choose your preferred date and time to reserve your seat. Tickets are priced at $45 plus Eventbrite’s fees. Seniors and students can receive a $10 discount by applying the appropriate discount code.

What You Will See

Nile Valley culture lives in the monuments of the District of Columbia. You will see evidence of ancient Egyptian architecture, symbolism and philosophy that has been embedded in various monuments throughout the city …literally hidden in plain sight. You will understand how the shape, orientation and location of the District of Columbia reveals a plan, crafted by America’s founding fathers, designed to recreate the spiritual essence of Egypt along the Potomac.

The founding fathers of the United States borrowed aspects of Nile Valley symbolism and philosophy and wove them into the heart and soul of their new nation. Their intention was to recreate the spiritual essence of Egyptian civilization in America and along the banks of the Potomac River.
