Description: An outstanding combination of words and photographs, showcasing Egypt's charisma in the 21st century, its varied and magnificent geography, and its hospitable and humorous inhabitants
The wistfulness of Alexandria, the serenity of Aswan, the energy of Cairo, the lushness of Fayoum, the magic of Siwa, the haunting purity of river and desert. Photographing villages, towns, and cities from the cool, intimate interiors of hotels and homes, and from on board boats, taxis, and trains, the author and photographer transport us to Egypt's hideaways.Brief description: Trevor Naylor is the author of Cairo Inside Out (AUC Press, 2017) and co-author of A Roving Eye: Head to Toe in Egyptian Arabic Expressions (AUC Press, 2014).

Review Quotes: "A real picture of what Egypt is like today." --May El Habachi, Oasis Magazine
"[A]n excellent guide to the ancient land."--Shepherd Express
"The inside-out perspective evokes the experience of being there, inviting readers to embrace an almost meditative travel discipline of slowing down to take in the details and complexities of Egypt, moment by moment. . . . taking the reader on a picturesque journey northward along the Nile, from the Nubian culture and archeological richness of Aswan to the temples at Luxor and all the way to Cairo and Alexandria along the coast."--J. Trevor Williams, AramcoWorld
