Beautiful coffee table book published by the American University in Cairo press.
The pictures of these historic palaces, hotels, and villas are big and gorgeous. The text is eclectic and could have been better in terms of organisation.
Presented in order of construction, this book brings back fond memories of tea in Sofitel Winter Palace, Luxor, and dinner at the Sofitel Cataract hotel, Aswan (with Peter and family) during our Nile cruise with 4 groups of close friends. 8 to 16 Dec 2018.
