About This Book
An artist recounts extended winters and travels in Egypt, combining vivid pictorial sketches with descriptive accounts of Cairo's old quarters, mosques, markets, religious festivals, and everyday life. The narrative moves upriver to Thebes and tombs, records participation in archaeological discoveries, and describes a cross-desert journey to the Red Sea and visits to Nile villages, quarries, and temples. Interwoven are personal anecdotes about servants, hospital stays, and encounters with locals, plus reflections on changing urban landscapes and the enduring rural character of smaller towns and villages.
