Here are some of my impressions from my seventh trip to Eternal Egypt. This beautiful country with its temples, tombs and monuments never ceases to impress, regardless of how many times one has been privileged to travel there. It is sad that photography is no longer permitted inside tombs or in the Egyptian Museum at Cairo, as well as at some temples. For images of some of those places, I refer you to my Egypt 2003 gallery. Enjoy the trip through my eyes !

Thanks for the gallery. Used to live in Egypt, so loved the pictures of the markets and the bread.
