    A Photographic Tour of Egypt

    About this ebook

    This photo tour is selected from photos I took on a trip to Egypt in November 2010. I have tried to show a different perspective with my 40+ photographs of the places that I visited. See such things as how the pyramids of Giza really look close-up, a "stepped" pyramid older than those at Giza, some of the stunning art work and carvings in the temples, view of the Nile from the Aswan ("High") Dam, the beauty of the Nile north of the Dam, the look of Tahir Square in Cairo in a peaceful time, the glibness of a bazaar vendor, and camels face-to-face.

    Since most of the photos are in landscape format, this book would best be viewed with your
    ebook reader oriented that way. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. I have many more, so let me know if you would like to see them.
