3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. great coffee-table book on SinaiBy Francesca JourdanThe six essays contained in the book are each written by different scholars. The writers highlight in turn the wonderous history of their particular subject area. Morsi Saad el-Din discusses the splendor; the beauty of Sinai; Gamal Mokhtar; its history; Fouad Iskandar; the topography of the land and its environmental conditions; Gawdat Gabra; its religion and heritage; Samir Sobhi; the desert; and Ayman Taher; the underwater world. Beautiful photographs by Ayman Taher and Luciano Romano accompany each essay. This great coffee-table book brings to light a little-known part of Egypt : the Sinai.
