Egypt: A Photographic Journey Through Ancient Civilization


Ramses II, Luxor Temple, by CPhillips
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. Its ancient ruins, such as those of Thebes, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, are a significant focus of archaeological study, The great majority of its estimated 79 million people live near the banks of the Nile River, where the only arable land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited.

From ancient temples, to the polluted metropolis of Cairo to the world-famous resorts on The Red Sea, we hope you enjoy this journey through Egypt.
