Chaucer Finalist Lisa Llamrei brings her book to life!
Readers will follow her characters’ footsteps through Egypt!
When your mission is to Discover Today’s Best Books, you love to come across good news regarding authors!
Lisa Llamrei, 2024 Chaucer Award Finalist, is combining her passion for Ancient Egypt with her travel expertise to lead an exclusive literary tour in March 2026!
The author behind Feather of Ma’at and Quest for Ma’at isn’t just writing about Nefertiti and Tutankhamun—she’s taking readers directly to their world. As both a travel agent specializing in Egypt and a novelist whose Ancient Egypt trilogy earned recognition in the Chanticleer International Book Awards, Llamrei has crafted a unique itinerary that brings her fiction to life.
“Egypt may be addictive,” warns Llamrei, who first fell in love with the land of pharaohs as a teenager. Her March 5-13, 2026 tour will visit off-the-beaten-path sites like Amarna (ancient Akhetaten, where Nefertiti ruled) and includes exclusive access to King Tut’s tomb—essential stops for readers of her novels.
This isn’t just any Egypt tour. Llamrei has curated experiences that directly connect to her award-winning historical fiction, allowing travelers to walk in the footsteps of the characters she brings to life on the page. From the temples and tombs featured in her books to the vibrant souks of Islamic Cairo, she’s sharing her decades-long love affair with Egypt.
With her second novel already released and the trilogy’s conclusion with her publisher, Llamrei is planning additional literary tours based on beloved novels like Shogun and The DaVinci Code.
