Nile
From the beginning of recorded history, the River Nile has been
a blessing in an otherwise barren, inhospitable world. Over
5000 years ago the river's fertile valley gave rise to one of
the world's first and greatest civilizations: ancient Egypt.
Every year, almost without fail, vital floodwaters replenished
the rich farming land along the river's banks but the ancient
Egyptians never understood how the flood was generated or why
it occasionally failed. Instead they invented a complex mythology
to explain the cycles of the river, and rarely ventured beyond
their safe, god-given valley to explore upstream. The mystery
of how the Nile came to be such a powerful, fluctuating force
tormented people for thousands of years. Huge natural barriers
south of Egypt restricted knowledge, but as the centuries passed,
explorers braved rapids, swamps, precipitous gorges, jungles,
wild animals and debilitating diseases to push further and further
up the river, each time bringing back new clues. Nile reveals
the true story of this great river. Beginning with an intriguing
exploration of the world of ancient Egypt, we take a modern
journey upstream as the river splits into its two main arms,
the White Nile and Blue Nile. Along the way, we discover the
spectacular Blue Nile gorge, Africa's Grand Canyon. Here, every
year, the river swells to 400 times its dry-season size as it
rages towards the sea, thousands of miles to the north. Tour

Cairo:
From Edge to Edge
The mother of the World as seen through the lens of French photographer
Jean Pierre Ribiere and the pen of Egyptian writer Sonallah
Ibrahim: the result is a reich and highly original portrait
of a city. Ribiere's 70 powerful photographs capture fugitive
moments in urban life and architecture, in which historic grandeur
meets modernity in a race with time. Meanwhile, the author's
incisive exploration of Cairo's past and his own past reveals
a man living on the edge of a city living on the edge of itself.

Egypt:
The World of the Pharaohs
Roman emperors, Arab scholars, and early travelers were already
drawn to and enchanted by the fascination of the land along
the Nile. The pyramids of Giza, the temple-city of Karnak, or
the Valley of the Kings with the grave of Tutankhamen even today
maintain their extraordinary force of attraction. Across the
centuries the high culture of the ancient Egyptians has retained
its allure. This can certainly be attributed to their astounding
architectural, artistic, and technological achievements as well
as their high level of writing and literature. The unified world
view of old Egypt, in which science and religion are an indissoluble
unity, impresses us deeply, as well.
