- Come with us on a magical holiday! Getting our history geek fill, thanks to a wonderful trip put together by acclaimed Egyptologist @CurtisRyanWoodside ! We're spoiled to be on this trip, with our friends @ChateauLove and @TheChateauDiaries, with Curtis' mother Cheryl, and Stephanie's mother Isabelle & Isabelle's husband, Percy!
We spent the first few days of this magical trip on land, at the Obelisk Hotel in Aswan, enjoying tours to the well-known Philae temple, and some lesser known sights on Elephantine & Kalabsha Islands.
Next time, you'll be able to join us on the best vintage tour boat, the Sai Safari, as we dive into some temples rescued by UNESCO, but rarely visited by tourists!
Please check out and enjoy @CurtisRyanWoodside's documentaries on Ancient Egypt - several of which are part of film festivals around the world!

Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

I've never seen a documentary about Egypt that told the story as well as all these blogs. Each of you gives a different flavor to the experience and each view expands the experience. This is a wonderful adventure. Egypt is more than the Pyramids and the Sphinx as wonderful as they are. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Agree
Agree
A very good watch, thanks
Really enjoy your personal touch , especially the music.
Curtis is so kind to Percy, this is the second time that I noticed him helping Percy along.
He’s a gent
I have loved seeing all of the different perspectives during this trip with all the Chateau people!
Oh good! We do worry it's overkill :)
@@ManorandMaker Never.
Sarah & Steve, your video is atmospheric and very enjoyable. Love your version
With Sarah's attention to detail it was fabulous to see the different levels of craftsmenship in each carving. Perhaps the rudimentary ones were " applying for the carving job" 😂
Not at all as you all share different perspectives in the history as well the artisanship and of course your love for fabrics.
Love your unique eye for detail Sara, it brings that art form to life and sings my song. Also love your appreciation for textiles and that you’re literally walking on 1000’s of years of pottery shards. Wow! Thanks for sharing your epic journey.
You're so welcome!
I enjoyed your narration on the carving differences.
Thank you I really enjoyed your trip. Much better then home movies. Beautiful really.
Nicely filmed and narrated and tasteful music that added to viewing your shared adventure.
Steve and the head scarf was great entertainment.
I think it's so interesting that they really decorate the camels up and each decoration probably fits the camels personality! and Curtis' knowledge is just amazing!! you guys were so fortunate!!
This has been a beautiful trip, every one of you have all shown us the same place but with completely different views and perspective amazing, this was such a wonderful video Sarah and Steve, thank you! Love from N.Y.
Our pleasure!
That boat! Shades of 'Death on the Nile'. Your photography is stunning. Love this. Thank you. So looking forward to the next part of the trip
It has been interesting to see the different things each blogger focused on for the viewers. It was lovely to see that the you took a moment to show the differences in the carvings. How exciting to go to Egypt with an Egyptologist!
How wonderful to see Egypt and with Curtis as your guide . Enjoy😘🇨🇦
Now if l had a History Teacher like Ryan l would show up in class for him lolo. l could listen to him all day
Hello 👋how are you doing?
What a great adventure with all your chateau friends. To have Curtis as your guide is the icing on the cake ❤❤❤ Love your perspective and cracked up at Steve trying to wrap the cloth around his head 🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to part two. Thanks for taking us along this dreamy adventure 😍😘
Fabulous footage and enjoyable music playlist well done!
Morning Steve & Sara, what a privilege to be able to walk amongst a centauries old ruins of one of the world most wonderful civilisations. The Egyptians. The amazing story of Moses from the Book has always been fascinating for me from since my childhood. From the amazing day Moses was found in the bulrushes until the Day he led the Israelites out of bondage. To be able to see for yourself the stone carvings from their lives back then, my-my, a person can only stand in awe. It looks like a good and fun time has been had by all attending, there must also have been the most exotic array of jewellery, fabrics, rugs and spices to be bought. Steve you enjoying cooking, am sure to bring home a few of those special flavours home. I so love the one sail boats on the Nile they blend in perfectly with the History of Egypt. Don't forget to grab a few bags of dates, they are super delicious! Sara I hope you find a few more fabrics of your dreams that you can come home and stich up. Egyptian cotton is also beautiful to bring home for maybe a table cloth or runner or even linen for the beds. Enjoy, have a wonderful time, go well, take care. Kind regards.
The combination of senses (sights, sounds, smells) are really impactful in the market. They feel so different from home... what I didnt say in the video is how different the markets feel than 30 years ago - my first time through a souk, with tiny stalls, narrow twisty alleyways, all the things... quite an impact then too!
When Sara mentioned Time Team and pottery, I knew we were kindred spirits! Steve really rocked that blue kaftan, a perfect color for him. What an amazing adventure you had! I’m just little bit jealous. 🌺
Time Team is just my go-to zen program....
Wow! You two really know how to live an interesting life!! Elizabeth Clark
@@ManorandMaker me too!
Spectacular scenery. Love everything ancient Egyptian. What a beautiful trip. Looking forward to part two. ❤
Simply beautifully presented and vlogged . Thankyou you darling couple . Made this girl , who has read all about this ! To see it . Marvellous ❤
Lookin good Steve!!
You are so lucky to have Curtis as your guide.
Beautiful photography. Mesmerizing.
I enjoyed your video very much, It was nice to see the Egypt trip through different eyes, Beautiful job Steve filming and Sarah. I've watched Stephanie's video also and both are wonderful. Happy you got to go and enjoyed
Seriously envious!!! Wow. Amazing journey. Looking forward to seeing more. Take care ❤
What a fabulous holiday with you all together it must have been fun ,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, what a wonderful treat that was! Thank you for taking us along!
I agree, it's great seeing this trip through all the different chateau people, different perspectives and everyone noticed different things. Great video Steve and Sarah! Thanks for sharing with us.
You two make me giggle. I already saw Stephanie's take on this journey. You guys stayed longer and have a different point of view. I also enjoy the variety of things that draw you......Sara's "fabric fingers" are well trained.
Hello how are you doing?
Love your vlog. So much detail shown. The sunsets in the Middle East are sublime aren't they?
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Amazing! Sarah, the fabric is beautiful. I'd love to see what you do with it!
Thank you so very much for sharing this trip with us. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fabrics you chose. While the jewelry was astonishingly beautiful, the scenery out of this world, and the food, and friends topped the activities, your sharing is simply beyond. Thank you, again.
Thank you for bringing me along on a journey that I will probably never get to make! It has been interesting to see the different perspectives from each of the travelers.
Hello how are you doing?
Thank you for taking the time on your holiday to share it with us! The atmospheric music you chose was perfect!
Lovely!🥰
Excellent vlog Sarah & Steve, so interesting and well done.
Good filming guys. Some great shots!
Absolutely a lovely video.
Thank you have now watched all three and each person has their own unique style and interest fascinated can’t wait for the next one
Exciting trip! Sarah, take a few threads of your fabric and burn them with a lighter. If it's cotton or silk it will turn to ash, if not they will melt like plastic.
Hello how are you doing?
Loved watching this vlog and also our other wonderful chateau vloggers. Each of you tell the stories in your own styles which it wonderful and all with the help of the talanted Curtis. Xxx
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
So lovely! Thank you. It felt as if I was there with you all. Oh Sarah…. Those fabrics….I would’ve had such a hard time choosing! Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with them. So interesting to see the different perspectives of all the vloggers. Such a treat to share in all this with you. Mega thanks! ❤
What a great adventure. So good to see all the chateau owners together having fun. Love the music you played on the vlog.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Good historical perspective; relatable. Yay for Time Team; fascinating I never understood why they could tell so much from a tiny shard of pottery until your explanation. You know your fabrics but good that you're pleased with your purchase.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I love all of your narration. You provide such wonderful information and you make things so very interesting.
Beautiful fabric.
The sunsets along the Nile are spectacular!
Fabulous, thank for taking me along.
The best photography and the best narrative! Well done! Enjoyed them all but you captured it all so well!
A wonderful holiday for you all. Thank you for taking us along,
Oh Steve and Sarah - Bravo! Best video - I see such creativeness in both of you. Your skills are getting strong my friend. Can't wait to watch the next!!! Thank you both for sharing this with us! (ps - I have watched everyones, and yours is my favorite! : _ )
That's very kind! Thanks Lisa!
Your video was my favorite too (I too had seen everyone else's videos! Superb job Sarah & Steve!!
Thank you!! I truly enjoyed your photography and thoughtful presentation of the inscriptions/carvings!! The colors were amazing, especially given how old they are, I can't imagine how beautiful the colors on the wall inscriptions would have been when 1st painted. I loved your panoramic photos and their slow thoughtful detail-very well done episode! Thank you again!!
Amazing culture trip!!! I’ve always wanted to spend time in Egypt exploring and seeing the ancient ruins. So much to see and take in it’s overwhelming so thanks for explaining things about the sculpture and architectural variety. Love hearing Curtis’ expert discussion🥂
Beautiful vlog. Very interesting filming and historical explanations. Your video shows where everything is and what it was. Hats off !
What a glorious place to be, to get a different perspective on life. The material was pretty, it did have a gloss to it and it moved like poly. I hope that you enjoyed the food and coffee
The photograpy and explanation of detail is so Interesting...loved it
Loved the fabric! It’s so interesting each video from you , Stephanie and Vivian shows something a little different. What a great time with friends!
I am so glad that you all had a fabulous trip to Egypt with Curtis he is such a wonderful person, thank you for taking us on your tour of Egypt fantastic.x 💕🌼🌼🤗
Enjoyed your vlog tremendously, especially pointing out the amount of detail in the various carvings. Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Lovely sunsets.
“I watch a lot of Time Team…” SAME GIRL, SAME! And I love Paul Blinkhorn, pottery expert, and his amazing ability.
And I have learned to carry a small scissors and lighter when fabric shopping, and ask if I can swatch. I have been sold polyester too many times! Intentionally and accidentally.
Poor Phillip looked so warm, glad he had his elegant fan
Nice glimpse of Egypt, it’s under a do not travel for the USA . Absolutely cracked me up Vivienne carrying her handbags everywhere.
Vivenne's always so well turned-out :)
Wonderful vlog great photography you have really showed us so much 😊
Wonderful vlog. Thank you! Can't wait to see more.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful .. makes me want to be right there with you ☺️ … can’t wait for the next vlog ❤️

Thank you. We all love enablement more than competition - happy to lift together :)
Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us.
Watching from Vancouver Island, BC 🇨🇦🌸
Thank you for these amazing pictures you‘ve caught - I really enjoyed the athmosphere you conveyed!
Epic shot of Sarah on the thumbnail!
Great editing and music. Thank you so much ❤️🇨🇦
Fabulous commentary!
"We are on the dam bridge" I don't blame you. I don't like bridges myself. 🤣 I know the intent of what you said, however I found it humorous.
What a trip!
Each of you have vloged different parts of the tours and like a jigsaw puzzle they fit together and provide the full picture.
My favourite thing of all is watching all others that vlog in their impromptu actions, where they have been captured just being natural and unscripted by other bloggers. It’s made me realise that you all are so genuine in your own vlogs, the real you is captured in your own vlogs. You all are so thoughtful of each other and such good friends with each other. Not too surprising as you all have a common back ground in that you all are renovating chateaux but this holiday has show me that your friendship now extend way beyond that shared commonality and true rounded friendships have evolved. It’s lovely to see such genuinely warm and caring friendships that have evolved between you all.
Very much looking forward to seeing more of this adventure of a life time.
I have been enjoying everyone's vlogs of their trip to Egypt. It really is so different from anywhere else on the planet and parts of it and the culture really are a step back in time. I loved seeing the market and the boat cruise.
Love your vlogs, especially when you are off visiting. Love how you show us details! Thanks for taking us along with you!
Wonderful experience thanks for taking us along ❤
Our pleasure!
I love the Time Team reference!!
Very nice video. Good camera work.
Note: in the last few years I’ve been noticing “Modal” on clothing tags for the types of fiber content. It basically means a mix of fibers…….the fabric itself feels nice and soft with a degree of body to it……that’s possibly what your material you found at the market was made from. He did not say it was a natural fiber but said it’s not polyester!😑
Modal fabrics… from my experience do not like high heat (tumble dry)or heavy wear.
You could take a few fibers from the fringe of the fabric and place them near a match to see if they melt…man made…..or if it becomes ash like natural fibers do. ❤
Wow a really great vlog - you filmed so we could take time to see things. So very interesting - thank you for sharing from Brisbane Australia.
I just love seeing you guys getting your geek on! Rock on!!
So wonderful to share this epic adventure with you both! Incredible memories for a lifetime. 🏰💖
Indeed they are!
Fabulous video!!thank you for sharing this experience ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much!
Your videos are at another level!
Amazing trip! Love seeing the carvings up close! Thanks Sara!
Wow! The embroidery on those fabrics was so beautiful.
Steve, no matter what you wear, you cannot disappear into a crowd in Egypt.
I'm watching all your fellow travelers vlogs about this trip but your presentation is my favorite. Great eye for interesting details.
What a trip of a lifetime. So amazing.
Absolutely enjoying everyone’s video! Such a wonderful experience!
You are so appreciated Sarah and Steve, you make wonderful videos.
Amazing Egyptians !
Lovely classical music editing to accompany the magnificent scenes ❤
Please please please....make a room in your Chateau Egyptian inspired. You are both so talented and I can see in my mind's eye a beautiful room. Kjb
Just wow!
Such wonderful photography and music selection. Excellent vlog thank you.
I was thinking of the different styles when you showed the just plain black painting between the colorful ones! You have shown such gorgeous detail!
Lovely video. Thank you. It can sometimes be a bit chaotic when there are numerous vloggers videoing all at once or with a large crowd of people, but this was tastefully done. Really enjoyable. This is on my bucket list. Beautiful place. Also, I'm also a Time Team fan. :-)
We do try hard to give different perspectives; it's definitely even harder in crowds! And yeah - another TT fan!!
Wonderful perspective. I liked this one the best; of the trip so far.
adored this great trip. Love the detail, sound/music choices.: a lovely mix of frivolity, historical interest. Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it!
