Publisher's Synopsis
The famous monuments of ancient Egypt and of the Nile Delta are magnificently discussed and illustrated in this book. Cairo, with its souks and bazaars, captivates the tourist with the bustle of Africa's busiest city. The Pyramids of Giza are one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World, together with the Sphinx. They are still a wonder to any traveller who sees them, especially for the first time. Sakkarah and Memphis, with the older step pyramids, continues to evoke wonder in their setting in the desert.
