Special correspondence from Luxor and Cairo describes the Nile basin, Suez, Alexandria, and old Memphis. The writer surveys Cairo’s modern quarter of Ismail, compares Cairo with mythic legends, and details donkeys, bazaars, mosques, and the bustling old streets. He tours the pyramids at Ghizeh, Sakkarah and Meydum, notes the Bulak museum treasures, and recalls Memphis necropolis and Heliopolis obelisks.
The writer departs Luxor after a three day stay, tracing the Nile into Nubia toward the first Cataract as low waters limit travel. He notes Egypt’s grand monuments and fertile lands lie in the narrow valley and describes daily marches, camel rides, and encounters with vendors and beggars as their caravan travels east and west toward the Libyan and Arabian deserts.
