Egypt from the Air

Egypt from the Air

by Max Rodenbeck  •  Guido Alberto Rossi (Photographer)

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 2000
  • HARD COVER
  • 208 PAGES

An inspired, unusual portrait of Egypt and the Nile as documented in 178 aerial photographs and accompanying text by Middle East corespondent and author Max Rodenbeck. The lively text and color images capture the allure of the landscapes and ancient monuments, and the verve of modern Egypt. With chapters on Egypt of the Mind, The Monuments, The Metropolis and The Nile with shorter chapters on The Desert and The Sea. The photos by Rossi, though taken from the air, are taken from what appears to be stunningly low altitudes, showing buildings and landscapes in relief.  (EGY80, $75.00)
