Four thousand years before the birth of Christ, ancient Egypt was
the cradle of modern civilization. Pharaohs built great cities on
the fertile banks of the River Nile, and employed thousands of
labourers to create lavish tombs and temples such as Thebes and the
pyramids of the Giza plateau. Today the exceptional beauty and
scale of the antiquities is legendary, drawing millions of visitors
to Egypt's monuments each year. But the nation is much more than
even that. From the beaches on the Red Sea to the Nile, from the
markets in Cairo and Alexandria to the country's Roman, Coptic and
Sassanid history, and Arab and Ottoman culture, Egypt is
spectacular. Ranging from desert monasteries to the trade on the
Suez Canal, from mausoleums hidden for centuries to medieval souks
to urban life today, Egypt takes the reader from the mountains to
the sea, from the desert to the city, from the ancient to the
modern. Featuring 200 colour photographs and captions explaining
the fascinating stories behind each image, Egypt is a stunning
portrait of an ancient and modern land.
