Egypt
Al Ahram Weekly (Rehab Saad)
I took one look at this page and got ridiculously excited - I've stood next to that car and taken photographs of it. I feel as though it is a newly met friend for life. And here it is in a new book on the less known aspects of the Egyptian past.
See the above page for the ful review.

Book Review: Egypt Rediscovered
Al Ahram Weekly (Rehab Saad)
I took one look at this page and got ridiculously excited - I've stood next to that car and taken photographs of it. I feel as though it is a newly met friend for life. And here it is in a new book on the less known aspects of the Egyptian past.
Never ceasing to amaze, Egypt is once again seen in a fresh light as a new book exposes unfamiliar and exciting destinations brimming with history to be visited in the land of wonders. In Egypt Rediscovered, author Mohamed El-Hebeishy goes completely off the mainstream, offering us a compilation of unique photographs of sites in Egypt that many never knew existed and telling us the tales behind them.
Veteran travellers and first-time visitors alike -- there is something for everyone in the little over 100-page book, and sites to suit all tastes. . . .
One of the most adventurous expeditions detailed in the book was that of Al-Gilf Al-Kebir, in Egypt's most isolated south-western corner. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Al-Gilf Al-Kebir thrived with life. Hunter-gatherers roamed its vegetation-rich valleys and resided by its river banks. Today, standing desolate and barren, it offers a well-kept secret: a type of prehistoric rock art created by ancient ancestors living in the area 8,000 to 10,000 years ago who recorded representations of their lives, habits and surroundings by etching them on stone.
