Discover the journey behind Footsteps of the Pharaohs and our passion for Egyptian treasures, as well as our quest for hidden historical knowledge and wisdom.
Once upon a footstep...
Footsteps of the Pharaohs was born from a love for Egypt, a country that has felt like a second home to me for more than fourteen years. What began as a fascination with ancient temples, hidden historical knowledge and the enduring wisdom of one of the world’s oldest civilisations gradually became a desire to share a little of Egypt with others.
Through regular travels to Egypt, I seek out products from small Egyptian businesses, carefully selecting items that capture the sights, scents, tastes and traditions that continue to draw me back year after year.
Footsteps of the Pharaohs is more than a collection of products. It is an invitation to experience Egypt through the senses.. to sip Egyptian hibiscus tea, wear fragrant oils inspired by the Nile, light incense reminiscent of ancient temples, and discover stories that connect the past with the present.
Whether you have travelled to Egypt many times, dream of visiting one day, or simply feel drawn to its beauty and mystery, I hope Footsteps of the Pharaohs becomes a small portal through which you can experience a little of the Egypt that I know and love.
Oceans of love,
Joanna
