Your picture
Yesterday I wanted to draw a picture of you. I've had this urge for several days, I'd get the idea on the way back home and then I arrive too tired and I don't do anything. Yesterday was the day, I wanted to get this lovely energy of yours on paper.
I arrived home, printed your 2 photos that I like most (or that seem most like who you truely are), I waited till I really wanted to start drawing, I got a new pencil and a new sketchbook and I finally started to trace your features. read more »

The depiction of Christ among sinners, descending into hell to redeem them is painted on a piece of plaster measuring 1.2 metres by 2 metres. It can be viewed in Poznań over the coming year. read more »
Travel: The Nile in even more style
Times Online (Bettany Hughes)
Sunbathing with two sub-machineguns near by is a curious experience. There I was, lazing along the Nile, when our luxurious liner was boarded by armed tourist police. Docked, things got even more exciting. Special operations officers, dressed in black, drove us in convoy, horns blaring, through roadblocks to the Temple of Dendara.
Essential security or showing off? Whichever – the original occupants would have approved: the Pharaohs loved a grand entrance. read more »
Travel: Downtown Cairo hotels
Al Ahram Weekly (Nagal Nkrumah)
A downtown Cairo hotel might not be the place to put down new roots, but there are notable exceptions. Most of the hotels in this part of Cairo have seen better days and are run-down, dilapidated lodges that house rucksack European and East Asian tourists stopping over in Cairo for a week or so. They hark back to the good old days of Khedive Ismail’s belle époque. He tried to construct a “Paris along the Nile” fashioned in the unique style of the Parisian architect Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann, commissioned by Napoleon III to revamp the French capital. read more »
Saturday Trivia
This will be the last Saturday Trivia - a necessary cut-back due to shortages in time! I will cover Egyptomania (interesting modern takes on ancient Egypt) in the main blog as and when I find articles.

قالوها حكمه….
حبيبي..لقد طال بعدك..مازال قمرك معتذرا عن الحضور لينير حياتي…عودي فأني محتاج اليك
كلما زاد حبنا تضاعف خوفنا من الاساءة لمن نحب
عتاب المحبين كمطر الصيف يمضي سريعا ويترك الدنيا اكثر نضارة وجمالا
قمه التحدي:ان تعشق مالا يحبك
قمه القوة:ان تبتسم وفي عينيك الف دمعه read more »
Desert art in danger at Egypt’s new tourism frontier
Middle East Online (Charles Onians)
I have been nagging recently about the impact of irresponsible tourists on the Egyptian deserts. I am delighted to say that this has been excellently highlighted by the article on the above page, which points explicitly to the problems being experienced in Egypt, Libya and the Sudan. I have quoted from it more than I would usually, but there is a lot more to read on the above page.
A rising tide of travellers seeking out the new frontier of Egyptian tourism is threatening priceless rock art preserved for millennia in one of the most-isolated reaches of the Sahara. read more »
Archive photographs of the discovery of Tutankhamun
17 terrific photographs taken during the excavations of the tomb. You will need to scroll down the page, and the slideshow is about half way down (indicated by a black and white photograph). You’ll probably have seen some of these images before, but its nice to see them all in one place.
Summary of Tutankhamun and related subjects in London
Al Ahram Weekly (Nevine El-Aref)
A comprehensive overview of the Tutankhamun exhibition and related issues by Nevine El-Aref. She includes the responses to Hawass’s claim that none of the income from the 1970s exhibition went to help Egypt’s heritage:“Egypt previously gave a lot of free meals,” Hawass declared, adding that when the Tutankhamun exhibition came to London 35 years ago, Egypt received nothing in return. “We didn’t get a penny and the British Museum is still making money,” he says. read more »

The End Of The World.
نولد ونحن محكوم علينا بالموت…فنري الناس يلهون ويلعبون متراقصين علي حافه نهر الموت فيهوي المرء اذا آتي دوره..فأنه كأس لابد ان يشرب منه الجميع…*باسم مصطفي
هكذا قال زميلي…اما انا فأكرر قول الله تعالي:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
كل من عليها فان ويبقي وجه ربك ذو الجلال والاكرام

كلمه ونص
ليس من الضرورى ان يكون الحب الاول وهم
العشق هو الضعف الجميل
اعطيتك قلبي ولكن حافظي عليه…ليس لانه قلبي ولكن لانك موجوده به
كل ما هو حي يبدأ صغيرا ثم يكبر وينمو…الالم وحده هو الذي يولد كبيرا ثم يصغر ويتضائل
يقولون ان الحب هو الفناء…فناء نفس لنفس read more »
شيماء تبكي
سائل في المهد يبكي *** طرفه نحو السماء
يرسل الانظار شذرا***وجهه فيه شقاء
من رأي حملا وديعا *** يملأ الارض شقاء
من رأي طفلا رضيعا ***يستحف الاوفياء
ليس يدري فيما يبكي ***ليس يدري ما البكاء read more »
