About the Book
This journey with photographer and world traveler Michael Morrissey will take you through the streets Cairo and far beyond: to Alexandria, built over the sunken city of Cleopatra and Caesar to the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut, to Luxor and Karnack and Abu Simbel, through tiny villages and complex markets, the placid Isle of Philae, Kom Ombo and Edfu, along quiet stretches of the ever flowing Nile by boat, and to a meditative place, alone at night beneath the stars amongst monuments that mark civilizations older than four thousand years, conceived by a sophistication in the arts and sciences that still baffle present day archaeologists and historians. As you glide down the Nile and through Michael’s stunning photographs, we hope you share our sentiment that, for the moment, we are transported to another time and place where nothing has changed. Included are photographer’s notes.

Mike creates spaces where people can feel safe, have fun, and reflect on the value of our majestic, fragile world. Physical places Mike has helped construct include playgrounds for inner-city kids and refugee camps for those displaced by war. But he’s also made spaces for arm-chair travelers—books and videos through which they can experience the planet and its people. And he’s created a place for the voices of the disenfranchised about California’s homeless population.
