I've been to Egypt several times, snorkeling in the Red Sea, sailing the Nile down to Luxor and Aswan, visiting the lake at Fayyoum, the Pyramids, and Cairo. The women in this picture from the photo essay at the front of the book were waiting for a bus in Cairo.
In the second, a picture left out of the book, a couple talks in a soukh café while teenage boys smoke tobacco in water pipes.
The third is a negative strip of the Pyramids.
As seen on Oprah's 2008 "Season's Best Gift Books" list, and named one of the best photography books of 2008 by American Photo in their Jan/Feb 2009 issue.
