Egypt |
| The name "Egypt" evokes many images, and the funny thing is that, for once, most of them are true. It's a big country and I haven't seen much of it, but here are a few pictures just the same... |

Alexandria
Once one of the greatest cities in the world, sacked countless times since, today's Alexandria is slowly creeping back towards its former splendor.

Cairo
Famed home of the Pyramids, and also a sprawling third-world metropolis
balanced precariously between chaos and order.

Sinai
A mountainous strip of desert jutting out into the Red Sea, and the
unlikely location of the backpacker/scuba-diver Mecca known as Dahab.
