Our Objective

The aim of the Ancient Egypt Society of Western Australia is to bring together people fascinated by the culture, mythology and daily life of the Ancient Egyptians - for the purposes of both education and entertainment. Members enjoy informative lectures, participate in a variety of social events and may even visit Egypt on a guided tour.




Members of the public are always welcome to attend our meetings.
Attendance fee per lecture: $3 members, $5 non-members.

We meet at 7pm–9pm on the first Wednesday of each month (except January) at:

The Institution of Engineers
