Cairo's Islamic monuments are part of an uninterrupted tradition that spans over a thousand years of building activity. No other Islamic city can equal Cairo's spectacular heritage, nor trace its historical and architectural development with such clarity. The discovery of this historic core, first visually by nineteenth-century western artists then intellectually by twentieth-century Islamic art specialists, now awaits the delight of the general visitor. This new, fully revised edition of a popular and handy guide continues to walk the visitor around two hundred of the city's most interesting Islamic monuments. It also keeps pace with recent restoration initiatives and newly opened monuments such as the Amir Taz Palace and the Sitt Wasila House.

Women Travelers on the Nile
Relentlessly entertaining "—Michelle Green, The New York Times [/b]Women travelers in Egypt in the nineteenth century saw aspects of the country unseen by their male counterparts, as they spent time both in the harems of Cairo and with the women they met along the Nile. Some of them, like Sarah Belzoni and Sophia Poole, spoke Arabic. Others wrote engagingly of their experiences as observers of an exotic culture, with special access to some places no man could ever go.From Eliza Fay’s description of arriving in Egypt in 1779 to Rosemary Mahoney’s daring trip down the Nile in a rowboat in 2006, this lively collection of writing by women travelers includes Lady Evelyn Cobbold, Isabella Bird, Norma Lorimer, Harriet Martineau, Florence Nightingale, Amelia Edwards, and Lucie Duff Gordon.

De antikke mindesmAerker i denne by giver et svimlende perspektiv af et spAendende historisk forlob, men man kan fa stor fornojelse af ogsa at bevAege sig uden for de navnkundige steder, for det er der, man oftest finder den grAeske sjAel og gAestfrihed, moder grAekerne i deres egne omgivelser, i deres egen hverdag. Et liv, der leves pa gaderne, pa balkoner, i parker og pa pladser. Med et smil og et kalimera sas far man kontakt og en ekstra spAendende dimension af et besog i et land, der pa mange punkter ligner de andre middelhavslande, men alligevel er helt sit eget.Hanna Lassen, citat fra bogen
