Into the Land of Egypt Dream in Sunshine Valley

A travelogue excerpt describes a sunrise journey through Egypt from the Nile to Luxor and Thebes. It paints scenes of irrigation work, canal life, bustling train travelers, and the awe of grand temples. The author notes the Hypostyle Hall at Karnak as a world wonder and contrasts ancient temples with modern travel. The piece ends musing on English monarchs adding to Westminster Abbey as a parallel to Egypt's enduring ruins.

The piece ends with plans for the next instalment, Pharaoh in Gilded Cage.
