Photos of Egypt
From our visit in 1957.
As students, we took deck
passage from Greece to Alexandria, Egypt for a two week tour of the country.
A street scene in Cairo
Columns from the Karnak Temple in
Luxor, Egypt
This temple on the island of Philae, was in
1957 partly underwater for parts of the year (December to May) due to the lake formed by
the Aswân dam on the Nile. Since then the newer higher dam has completely submerged the
island and the temple area.
The Sphinx
The great pyramid of King Cheops.
