About This Book
A Welsh travel memoir recounts the author’s voyage to and travels through Egypt, combining shipboard anecdotes, diary entries, and on-the-spot sketches. It records daily life aboard ship, encounters with fellow travellers and officials, train and river journeys, and urban scenes in Alexandria and Cairo, including bazaars, mosques, and visits to ancient monuments such as pyramids and the Sphinx. Personal impressions and contemplative passages about landscape, religion, and local customs alternate with practical observations, while illustrative plates and brief descriptive chapters give the work a varied, reflective structure.
