by Giorgio Agnese, Marcello Bertinetti

Take an aerial journey across Egypt, the landscape of natural contrasts and ancient heritage and see the wonders of the country as if you were one of the ancient gods themselves: * the boundless Sahara desert * the fertile Nile valley * the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean * the coral reefs of the Red Sea * the wadis scorching in the sun * the red mountains of central Sinai * the masterpieces of Egyptian antiquity * the pyramids of Giza * the Valley of the Kings * the Temple at Abu Simnel * the modern sights: Aswan Dam and the Alexandra library * The breathtaking images in this book are the result of a bird's-eye view of a landscape of timeless appeal, rendered all the more seductive by the clarity of the light and the dizzying perspectives captured by one of the world's leading landscape photographers.
