King Tut and Peace Talks




We did see the golden treasures of King Tut at the Egyptian Museum, but they are not pictured here. No photos were allowed, but wonderful full-size replicas were common in several locations. The iconic image above was actually for sale in an interesting souvenir shop. No idea of the price.

Our lunch on the edge of the Sahara was at the location of major peace talks in the 1970s. This is where President Jimmy Carter met with Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, generating some of the accords that still help regulate relationships between Egypt and Israel.

Feel free to let me know what you think. It is exciting to think that some of my photography might be enjoyed by others.
