Sinai: The Site & the History

Rating:
Summary: great coffee-table book on Sinai
Review: The 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.
