The Timeline History of
Ancient Egypt
The Monuments of Egypt
Shereen Ratnagar
Dieter Arnold
A fascinating view of the pageant of pharaonic history
A guide to the architectural wonders of the Nile Valley
With spectacular monuments such as the Pyramids
and the Sphinx, and a view of the afterlife that produced thousands of mummies, relics, and myths,
ancient Egypt has fascinated everyone from Herodotus
to Napoleon Bonaparte to schoolchildren around
the world. The Timeline History of Ancient Egypt
explores the lives of the pharaohs and other historical
figures, but also looks in detail at the daily lives of
ordinary people—scribes, priests, and villagers—
who maintained the machinery of the state. The book
explains the intricacies of the culture’s religious
beliefs; examines ancient Egypt’s art, relics, temples,
monuments, and language; and follows the rhythm
of an agricultural society.
A comprehensive, up-to-date review of more than
three thousand years of ancient history, this is a book
that no aspiring Egyptologist should be without.
The ancient Egyptians’ greatest monuments, ranging
from Abu Simbel in the south to Cleopatra’s palaces
in Alexandria, were built over a period of three
millennia, and yet a common architectural tradition
links them all. Dieter Arnold here provides a singlevolume guide to one of the most remarkable architectures of the ancient world. Entries are presented
for each of the most important ancient sites, covering
monuments as diverse as the Step Pyramid of Djoser,
the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, and the great
Ptolemaic temples that line the Upper Nile. Key
aspects of design and construction are also considered
in separate entries, covering aspects such as building
and construction techniques. With more than 600
illustrations, this guide provides a comprehensive
introduction to ancient Egyptian monuments.
Shereen Ratnagar was a professor of ancient history and
archaeology at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.
The author of six books, she lectures at various universities
and institutes.

Four thousand years of art in full color
From the earliest clay figures and ivory combs of
Predynastic times, through the masterful statuary of
the Old Kingdom and the exquisite tomb paintings
of the New Kingdom, to the astonishingly modern
painted portraits of the Greco-Roman era, the artistic
achievements of Egypt span over four thousand years.
In this unique new visual reference work, the finest
examples of Egyptian art from museum collections
around the world are illustrated to advantage in
more than 360 beautiful full-color photographs. Not
only a feast for the eyes, this book is informative
too, with introductions to each historical period,
graphic summaries of Egyptian history and great
archaeological discoveries, and a chronology and
glossary. This celebration and pageant of ancient
Egyptian creative expression deserves a place on
the shelves of Egyptologists and art lovers alike.

Aidan Dodson
A new account of the return to orthodoxy after
Akhenaten’s revolution
This new study, drawing on the latest research,
tells the story of the decline and fall of the pharaoh
Akhenaten’s religious revolution in the fourteenth
century BC. Beginning at the regime’s high-point in his
Year 12, it traces the subsequent collapse that saw the
deaths of many of the king’s loved ones, his attempts
to guarantee the revolution through co-rulers, and
the last frenzied assault on the god Amun.
The book then outlines the events of the subsequent five decades that saw the extinction of the
royal line, an attempt to place a foreigner on Egypt’s
throne, and the accession of three army officers in
turn. Among its conclusions are that the mother of
Tutankhamun was none other than Nefertiti, and
that the queen was joint-pharaoh in turn with both
her husband Akhenaten and her son. As such, she
was herself instrumental in beginning the return to
orthodoxy, undoing her erstwhile husband’s life-work
before her own mysterious disappearance.
Aidan Dodson is a research fellow in the Department of
Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Bristol,
UK, where he teaches Egyptology. He is the author of eleven
books and over 200 reviews and articles.

Peter Sheehan
An archaeological investigation into the ancient
nucleus of medieval and modern Cairo
This book presents a history of Old Cairo based on
new archaeological evidence gathered between
2000 and 2006 during a major project to lower the
groundwater level affecting the churches and monuments of this area of Cairo known by the Romans as
Babylon. Examination of the material and structural
remains revealed a sequence of continuous occupation extending from the sixth century BC to the present
day. These include the massive stone walls of the
canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea, and the harbor
constructed by Trajan at its entrance around 110 AD.
The Emperor Diocletian built the fortress of
Babylon around the harbor and the canal in 300 AD,
and much new information has come to light concerning the construction and internal layout of the
fortress, which continues to enclose and define the
enclave of Old Cairo. Important evidence for the early
medieval transformation of the area into the nucleus
of the Arab city of al-Fustat and its later medieval
development is also presented.
Peter Sheehan directed the Old Cairo Archaeological
Monitoring Project from 2000 to 2006 and has published
a number of articles on the archaeology of the area. He is
currently historic buildings manager for the Abu Dhabi
Authority for Culture and Heritage.

Artists in the Old Kingdom
Preserving Egypt’s Cultural Heritage
Techniques and Achievements
Edited by
Naguib Kanawati and Alexandra Woods
With a Foreword by Zahi Hawass
Exploring the role of the artists who created the
magnificent tomb paintings of Egypt’s Old Kingdom
Treasures of Egypt’s cultural heritage conserved under
the direction of the American Research Center in Egypt
Challenging the idea that the artists of ancient Egypt
were anonymous craftsmen who labored in obscurity
to create masterpieces of funerary art, the authors of
this volume have produced a thorough study, well
illustrated with detailed photographs and line drawings, that gives definition to these skilled and valued
members of society. This monograph provides an
accessible reference on Egyptian art as it appears in
wall scenes, and addresses the intriguing question of
the artists’ identity and individual style.
Under the directorship of the late Robert K. Vincent,
Jr., conservation projects funded by USAID in
collaboration with Egypt’s Supreme Council of
Antiquities ranged widely in their scope. Projects
involving prehistoric sites in Sinai, the shattered
sarcophagus of Ramesses VI, exquisite GrecoRoman mosaics, fine Coptic wall paintings, and
numerous training programs were all part of the
work described in this volume.

Cairo Contested
Politics, Culture, and Urban Space in the New
Globalized Middle East
Governance, Urban Space, and Global Modernity
Edited by
Diane Singerman and Paul Amar
Edited by
Diane Singerman
New paperback edition
A new companion publication to the landmark
volume Cairo Cosmopolitan
Bringing together a distinguished interdisciplinary
group of scholars, this volume explores what happens
when new forms of privatization meet collectivist
pasts, public space is sold off to satisfy investor needs
and tourist gazes, and the state plans for Egypt’s future
in desert cities while stigmatizing and neglecting
Cairo’s popular neighborhoods.
The original publication of this volume launched
the Cairo School of Urban Studies, committed to
fusing political-economy and ethnographic methods
and sensitive to ambivalence and contingency, to
reveal the new contours and patterns of modern power
emerging in the urban frame.
This cross-disciplinary, ethnographic, contextualized,
and empirical volume explores the meaning and
significance of urban space, and maps the spatial
inscription of power on the mega-city of Cairo.
Suspicious of collective life and averse to powersharing, Egyptian governance structures weaken but
do not stop the public’s role in the remaking of their
city. Who wins and loses in the “march to the modern
and the global” as the government transforms urban
spaces and markets in the name of growth, security,
tourism, and modernity? This companion volume to
Cairo Cosmopolitan (2006) further develops the central
insights of the Cairo School of Urban Studies.

Alif: Journal of Comparative
Poetics 29
With the discovery and wider use
over the last few decades of the
Islamic court records and Ottoman
administrative documents, our
knowledge of Middle Eastern cities
between the seventeenth and early
twentieth centuries has vastly
expanded. Drawing upon a treasure
trove of documents and using a
variety of methodologies, the contributors succeed in providing a
significant overview of the ways in
which Middle Eastern cities can be
studied, as well as an excellent
introduction to current literature in
the field.
Against the backdrop of the end
of the Ottoman Empire to the
Palestinian uprisings, old Palestinian
women recount life before and
after piped water. While talking
about fetching and managing
household water, women also
talked about being women.
Women, Water, and Memory
speaks of many different lives.
We learn about the joy women
feel each time they dance at a
wedding, the sheer satisfaction
of lighting a cigarette, the loyalty
and shared despair toward families
with members in prison, and
about the tears of sorrow at each
death and the delight at each birth.

Egypt
Life as Politics
Moment of Change
How Ordinary People Change the Middle East
Edited by Philip Marfleet
and Rabab El Mahdi
Asef Bayat
A comprehensive and accessible examination of
contemporary issues in Egypt
There have been few attempts to understand contemporary Egyptian society, in particular growing
internal pressures for change and their implications
for the Middle East and the wider world.
This book presents a series of analyses of politics, culture, and society, addressing the turmoil created by imposition of neo-liberal economic policies,
the increasingly fragile nature of an authoritarian
regime, the influence of movements for democratic
opening and popular participation, and the impacts
of Islamism.
The authors argue that Egypt has entered a period of instability and assess the ability of the state to
resist the new movements and the latters’ capacity
to fulfill their aims.

A Middle Eastern perspective on the dynamics of
social change
In this eye-opening book, Asef Bayat reveals how
under the shadow of the authoritarian rule, religious
moral authorities, and economic elites, ordinary people
can make meaningful change through the practices
of everyday life.
Though not as visible on the world-stage as a mass
protest or a full-scale revolution, millions of people
across the Middle East are discovering or creating new
social spaces within which to make their claims heard,
challenging the state’s control and implicitly questioning the established public order through their daily
activities. Though not coordinated in their activities,
these “non-movements” offer a political response,
not of protest but of practice and direct daily action.
“In this pioneering book, Bayat forces us to see
things from the ground up.”
—Kamran Asdar Ali, University of Texas at Austin
“Truly one of the most important contributions to
the field in the past decade.”
—Ted Swedenburg, University of Arkansas
Asef Bayat is professor of sociology and Middle Eastern
studies at Leiden University. He is the author of Street

The Restructuring of State Power in the
Middle East
An introduction to emerging debates and questions
Edited by Laura Guazzone
and Daniela Pioppi
As a major strand of western public discourse has it,
Islam appears resistant to internal development and
remains inherently pre-modern. However, Muslim
societies have experienced most of the same structural changes that have impacted upon all societies,
developments accompanied by a wide range of social
movements and by complex and varied religious and
ideological debates.
Key topics are selected here to give readers an
understanding of the complexity of the issues from
a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including social
change and the transformation of political and
religious institutions, gender politics, changing legal
regimes, and modern developments in Muslim religious thought.
This collection of essays by leading academics
focuses on the participation of Arab states in neoliberal globalization.
The effects of the restructuring of traditional state
power engendered by globalization are analyzed
separately, through updated empirical research in the
political, economic, and security processes of each
country considered. Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and
Saudi Arabia are the case studies selected to represent different paths toward a shared model of “new”
Arab state which, far from representing an exceptional case of resilience against global trends, may
be seen in many instances as typifying their effects.

What Drives Prices in Egypt?
Voices in Refuge
An Analysis in Light of International Experience
Stories from Sudanese Refugees in Cairo
Edited by
Hanaa Kheir-El-Din
A careful examination of pricing in Egypt from the
Egyptian Center for Economic Studies
Since 2004, economic reforms in Egypt have led to
robust expansion, a healthy external position, and
enhanced investor confidence. But despite these
positive macroeconomic developments, inflation has
been steadily rising. Does fiscal policy threaten price
stability? Does wage growth in the Egyptian economy
lead price inflation, or is it the reverse? In this volume,
these and other questions are examined by contributors who participated in a conference held in Cairo
in late 2007.
Here is a coherent and comprehensive analysis of
the factors driving prices in Egypt, in an attempt to find
a satisfactory balance between prices and economic
growth. While Egypt is the focus of the analysis, the
papers draw upon the relevant literature, and international experience, and the findings can be applied
to other middle-income economies. This timely study
helps to explain the complex issues facing economists
and policymakers, with proposals for reform.

Personal stories of terror, escape, displacement, and
resilience from a prominent refugee group in Egypt
Current estimates indicate the presence of anywhere
between 20,000 and 250,000 Sudanese refugees in
Egypt. The great discrepancy in figures, a result of
contradictory new reports, is an important demonstration of the way the refugee situation in Cairo is
perceived by various interest groups, many of whom
continue to underestimate the problems faced by the
Sudanese community in Egypt.
This collection of oral narratives gives voice to
the everyday lives and unique struggles of a small
group of refugees displaced to Egypt, in an attempt
to identify their problems frequently overlooked by
the media. Compiled through a series of interviews
conducted by students at the American University
in Cairo, the narratives are complemented by a
short history of Sudanese refugees in Egypt and a
theoretical study of racism against the Sudanese in
the country.
Nora Eltahawy is currently pursuing a graduate degree in
Comparative Literature at the University of Texas at Austin.

Caliph of Cairo
Muhammad Abduh
Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, 996–1021
A Biography
Paul E. Walker
Mark Sedgwick
The most authoritative biography to date of the
controversial Fatimid ruler
A new biography of the influential Islamic thinker
One night in the year 411/1021, the powerful ruler
of Fatimid Cairo, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, rode out of
the southern gates of his city and was never seen
again. Was the caliph murdered, or could he have
decided to abandon his royal life, wandering off to
live alone and anonymous? Whatever the truth, the
fact was that al-Hakim had literally vanished into
the desert.
Yet al-Hakim, though shrouded in mystery, has
never been forgotten. To the Druze, he was (and
is) God, and his disappearance merely indicated
his reversion to non-human form. For Ismailis,
al-Hakim was the sixteenth imam, descended from
the Prophet, and infallible. Jews and Christians, by
contrast, long remembered him as their persecutor,
who ordered the destruction of many of their synagogues and churches.
Using all the tools of modern scholarship, Paul
Walker offers the most balanced and engaging
biography yet to be published of this endlessly fascinating individual.
Paul E. Walker is a visiting scholar with the University of
Chicago’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies and an historian
of ideas specializing in medieval Islamic history.

history and biography
In Egypt, Muhammad Abduh (1849–1905) is now
generally remembered as a great scholar and a
patriot, a great renewer of Islam, one of those who
awakened the nation—though the details of this
greatness have grown somewhat fuzzy with time.
Among scholars, in the Muslim world and the west,
he is known as Islam’s leading modernist. For some,
his modernism consisted of creating a synthesis of
Islam and modern thought; for others, it consisted
of the bridge he built between the old world and
the new. Some see him as having revived true
Islam, some as having proposed an alternative to
true Islam.
One question that this new biography addresses,
then, is quite what his modernism consisted of.
Another question is where his modernism came
from. And a final question is what happened to it
after his death.
Mark Sedgwick is associate professor of Arab history,
culture, and society at Aarhus University, and previously

Cairo. His other books include Sufism: The Essentials

A Jihadist’s Own Story
Translated by Humphrey Davies
An autobiographical account of a journey into
extremism
In 1986, when this autobiography opens, the author
is a typical fourteen-year-old boy in Asyut in Upper
Egypt. Attracted at first by the image of a radical
Islamist group as “strong Muslims,” his involvement
develops until he finds himself deeply committed
to its beliefs and implicated in its activities. This
ends when, as he leaves the university following a
demonstration, he is arrested. Prison, a return to
life on the outside, and attending Cairo University
all lead to Khaled al-Berry’s eventual alienation
from radical Islam.
Fluently written, intellectually gripping, exciting,
and often funny, Life Is More Beautiful than Paradise
opens a window onto the mind of an extremist who
turns out to be disarmingly like many other clever
adolescents, and bears witness to a history with
whose reverberations we continue to live.
Khaled al-Berry was born in Sohag, Egypt in 1972. He has
a degree in medicine from Cairo University, and currently
works as a journalist and writer in London, where he has
been living since 1999.
Humphrey Davies is the translator of The Yacoubian

Edward William Lane, 1801–1876 The Hashemites
The Life of the Pioneering Egyptologist
and Orientalist
Jason Thompson
The first full-length biography of the eminent
Victorian scholar
Few Western scholars of the Middle East have exerted
such profound influence as Edward William Lane.
Lane’s Account of the Manners and Customs of the
Modern Egyptians (1836), which has never gone out
of print, remains as a highly authoritative study of
Middle Eastern society. His annotated translation
of the Arabian Nights (1839–41) retains a devoted
readership. Lane’s recently recovered and published
Description of Egypt (2000) shows that he was a
pioneering Egyptologist as well as orientalist. The
capstone of his career, the definitive Arabic–English
Lexicon (1863–93), is an indispensable reference tool.
Yet, despite his extraordinary influence, little was
known about Lane and virtually nothing about how
he did his work. Now, in the first full-length biography, Lane’s life and accomplishments are examined
in full, including his crucial years of field work in
Egypt, revealing the life of a great Victorian scholar
and presenting a fascinating episode in east–west
encounter, interaction, and representation.
The Dream of Arabia
Robert McNamara
The story of the one dynasty and the struggle for
Arab independence
The story of the Arab Revolt during the First World
War and the Hashemite princes who led it is one
of wartime expediency, double-dealing, and dynastic
ambition, coming to a head at the Paris Peace
Conference in 1919, which shaped the modern
Middle East. The story of the Hashemite dynasty at
the Conference is the story of the birth of the modern
history of a region that is now more than ever at
the center of world affairs.
Here Robert McNamara argues that the British
cultivated the Hashemite Sherifs of Mecca more as
an alternative focus for Muslim loyalty away from
the Ottoman sultan than as leaders of truly independent nations. At the same time, the Sykes–Picot
Agreement divided up the Middle East between
Britain and France. The sense of betrayal that this
caused has colored Arab nationalists’ views of the
west ever since.
Robert McNamara is a lecturer in International History at
the University of Ulster at Coleraine.

A history of the formation of Arabic letters from
the earliest styles to modern computer fonts
The indispensable reference resource
This book, abundantly illustrated with examples of
Arabic handwriting, calligraphy, and typography,
clearly presents the development of Arabic writing
styles, from the beginning with reed pens to twentyfirst century computerized typesetting. The author
explains the importance of writing instruments and
the surfaces onto which letters are inscribed, including the particular challenges introduced with the
innovation of the printing press, and later the computer. Writing Arabic will interest not only those
interested in the extraordinary history of writing, but
also graphic designers, calligraphers, and visual
artists, enabling an understanding of the development of existing styles, and providing a foundation
from which new logotypes and character fonts can
be designed.

Re:viewing Egypt
Image and Echo
Xavier Roy
Text by Gamal al-Ghitani
Photographs by
A unique and surprising photographic presentation
that invites us to look twice
Xavier Roy’s breathtaking photographs of Egypt
offer us a haunting vision of a country and its people.
They are also a lesson in the art of photography
itself, inviting us to experience images as metaphor, to extend our notions of reality. We observe the
correspondences of shape and texture, perspective
and repetition, light and shadow, and the vitality
in the mundane and commonplace. A photograph
of an acacia tree is juxtaposed with one of birds
in flight, their formation and movement echoing
the outline and feather-like aspect of the tree. Each
photograph is at once an offer of tranquility and
a call to interpret.
Gamal al-Ghitani’s profoundly contemplative
introduction is both inspiring and inspired by Roy’s
gallery of images, compelling us to observe Egypt’s
riches not as passive onlookers, but as engaged,
reflective beings.
Xavier Roy’s photographs have been exhibited in France,
New York, and Brazil, and his books include The Soul of
Cuba and All Our Children.
Gamal al-Ghitani is the author of The Mahfouz Dialogs

Gaza Graffiti
Messages of Love and Politics
Mia Gröndahl
A photographic exploration of Gaza’s writing on
the wall
Graffiti began in Gaza in 1987, during the first
Intifada, when there was no Palestinian television
or radio in the Gaza Strip, and no newspapers: the
messages that spread along the walls became an
important means of communication. Over the years,
all political groups have had their own graffiti artists.
Scrawl is not tolerated—it has to look good.
Hamas even offers evening classes in graffiti.
Documenting the writings on the walls of Gaza
over a period of seven years, celebrated Swedish
photojournalist Mia Gröndahl lays before us the
many roles that they perform, the colorful and surprising range of their artistic expression, and their
reflection of the changing political situation. And
apart from political slogans, the walls bear witness
too to joy and sadness: the wedding celebrations, the
many victims of the conflict, and the ever present
hope of peace and freedom. For us on the outside,
Mia Gröndahl’s photographs offer an exciting and
unexpected view of life in Gaza.
Mia Gröndahl was born in 1951 and lives in Cairo and
southern Sweden. She is the photographer of In Hope
and Despair: Life in the Palestinian Refugee Camps (AUC
Press, 2003).

Music and Media in the Arab World Photography and Egypt
Edited by
Michael Frishkopf
Key issues of contemporary Arab society addressed
through the culture of music
A close look at the work of Egyptian and foreign
photographers over 150 years
Since the turn of the twentieth century the dramatic
rise of mass media has profoundly transformed music
practices in the Arab world. Music has adapted to
successive forms of media dissemination—from
phonograph cylinders to MP3s—each subjected to
the political and economic forces of its particular
era and region. Carried by mass media, the broader
culture of Arab music has been thoroughly transformed as well. Simultaneously, mass mediated music
has become a powerful social force.
This provocative volume features sixteen new
essays examining the key issues of contemporary Arab
society—gender and sexuality, Islam, class, economy,
power, and nation—as refracted through the culture
of mediated music. Interconnected by a web of
recurrent concepts, this collection transcends music
to become an important resource for the study of
contemporary Arab society and culture.
While Egypt and its monuments have been regularly
photographed over the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries by foreigners, little is known about Egyptian
photographers themselves. This book examines
both, considering images from the mid-nineteenth
century to the present day, taking in studio portraits,
landscapes, photo-journalism, and the work of
contemporary Egyptian photo artists.
Maria Golia looks closely at the work of early
Egyptian photographers such as Colonel Mohammad
Sadiq, Mohammad Badr, and Atiyya Gaddis, many
previously unknown to a western audience. She
discusses court photography, photography for propaganda purposes, and studio-based photography,
used to depict the growing Egyptian middle class.
Today’s young photographic artists use the medium
both to celebrate ‘ordinary lives’ and to indict the
political and social conditions that contribute to
their hardship.
Illustrated with a rich, surprising variety of images,
many previously unknown in the west, Photography
and Egypt is the first book to relate the story of
Egypt’s rapport with photography into one concise
and highly readable account.

With Aswan, Abu Simbel, and the Nile
A full-color celebration of the monuments and
landscape of Upper Egypt
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, Egypt’s
opulent New Kingdom capital. It encompasses the
spectacular temples of Luxor and Karnak on the
east bank of the Nile, and on the west bank the vast
necropolis, which includes the Colossi of Memnon,
the famed Ramesseum, Queen Hatshepsut’s magnificent funerary temple, and the Valley of the Kings,
riddled with royal tombs, among them the fabled
resting place of Tutankhamun. The splendor and profusion of pharaonic monuments at Luxor justifies its
reputation as the greatest outdoor museum in the world.
Reaching beyond Luxor, this book also covers
all the major sites of Upper Egypt, including Abydos,
Dendera, Esna, Edfu, and Kom Ombo. Special
attention is given to Aswan, one of the most beautiful places in Egypt, with its nearby island temple
of Isis at Philae. The climax of this informed and
richly illustrated book comes with the remarkable
temples at Abu Simbel, with their colossal figures of
Ramesses II and his lovely wife Nefertari cut from
the living rock.

Traveling through the Deserts
of Egypt
From 450 B.C. to the Twentieth Century
Edited by Sahar Abdel-Hakim
and Deborah Manley
A selection of early and modern writings on
the Egyptian desert
For generations, travelers have been lured by the
beauty and mesmerizing stillness of Egypt’s deserts,
leaving behind the comfort of what is familiar in a
quest for adventure, knowledge, and escape, and
for others still, a taste of eternity. Traveling through
the Deserts of Egypt is a compilation of some of the
most fascinating and beautiful writings to come out
of the experiences of desert travelers through the
ages. Seen through their eyes, the desert emerges
as possessed of a multitude of identities, a source
of majesty and life-giving natural beauty, barrenness
and yet incalculable mystery. By reading in the
footsteps of those who crossed the desert’s valleys,
slept in its caves, and rode its camels, we discover
that the desert in its boundlessness and utter unpredictability shatters all our notions of time and holds
out the offer of an intensity of meaning and renewed
self-awareness that is as irresistible as it is rewarding.
The collection includes extracts from the writings
of Herodotus, Ibn Khaldun, Ferdinand Lepsius, Leo
Tregenza, Harriet Martineau, Ahmed Fakhry, and
Ahmed Hassanein, among many others.
Sahar Abdel-Hakim and Deborah Manley are the editors
of Traveling through Egypt (AUC Press, 2004) and Traveling

Zahi Hawass
Foreword by
A full-color visual celebration of Egypt’s splendors
Egypt is a country of a thousand facets and striking
contrasts, which has now become one of the most
popular international tourist destinations, thanks to
the marvels of its archaeological treasures, the warm
waters and sunny beaches of its Red Sea coast, and
the “exotic” attractions of its souks and city streets.
Meanwhile, Egypt is also a modern country pursuing
its own model of development, one that attempts
to incorporate both tradition and innovation.
From the pyramids to the Red Sea coral reefs,
from the desert oases to the rocky mountains of Sinai,
from the cultivated fields of the Delta to the modern

How to cook and eat like the ancient Egyptians, from
the author of My Egyptian Grandmother’s Kitchen
Judging from the evidence available from depictions
of daily life on tombs and in historical texts, the
ancient Egyptians were just as enthusiastic about good
food and generous hospitality as are their descendants
today. Magda Mehdawy and Amr Hussein have done
extensive research on the cultivation, gathering,
preparation, and presentation of food in ancient
Egypt and have developed nearly a hundred recipes
that will be perfectly recognizable to anyone familiar
with modern Egyptian food.
Beautifully illustrated with scenes from tomb
reliefs, objects and artifacts in museum exhibits, and
modern photographs, the recipes are accompanied
by explanatory material that describes the ancient
home and kitchen, cooking vessels and methods,
table manners and etiquette, banquets, beverages,
and ingredients. Traditional feasts and religious
occasions with their own culinary traditions are
described, including some that are still celebrated
today. A glossary of ingredients and place names
provides a useful guide to unfamiliar terms.

Kitchen (AUC Press, 2006), which received the Al-Ahram
Appreciation Prize for the original Arabic edition in 2004.
She lives in Alexandria.

A Photographer on the Hajj
The Travels of Muhammad ‘Ali Effendi Sa‘udi
(1904/1908)
Farid Kioumgi
and
Robert Graham
One of the earliest visual records of the Hajj and
the holy cities of Mecca and Medina
The diaries of Muhammad ‘Ali Effendi Sa‘udi, a civil
servant and accomplished photographer, offer a rare
glimpse of the Hajj through Egyptian eyes at the
beginning of the twentieth century when the Ottoman
Empire was on the wane and the advance of the
Hijaz railway threatened to upset vested interests
in the old pattern of pilgrimage.
Sa‘udi twice accompanied the Amir al-Hajj,
Ibrahim Rif‘at Pasha, attached to the official Egyptian
caravan. His story of these journeys combines the
thoughts of a devout Muslim with fine detail on the
hardships and health hazards facing pilgrims, the
high-level intrigues, and the ever-present dangers of
taking photographs.
The authors have compressed the diaries into
a highly readable narrative with selected quotations, lavishly illustrated with Sa‘udi’s remarkable
photographs.
Farid Kioumgi is a specialist on literature and travel to the
Middle East, including historical documents, lithographs,
and nineteenth-century photographs.
Robert Graham is currently a freelance writer living in Paris
and southern Spain. In 2004 he was awarded the OBE for
services to journalism.

Hajj
Reem Al Faisal
With text by Seyyed Hossein Nasr
The great pilgrimage portrayed in black and
white photography
The great Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the five
‘pillars’ of Islam, required of every Muslim who is fit
and able to undertake it. Every year in the month of
Dhu al-Hijja, millions of Muslims converge on this
desert city on the Arabian Peninsula from all corners
of the globe, in one of the world’s greatest and most
spiritual human gatherings.
Saudi princess and photographer Reem Al Faisal
here brings together a portrait of the Hajj in an
extraordinary collection of black-and-white photographs that reveal not just the vast scale of the
pilgrimage, not just the range of rituals involved, but
also the human dimension: the sheer variety of
humanity that comes here, the private moments of
piety and devotion, the intimate moments of relaxation, and the joy (and sometimes anxiety) of being
a part of such an immense community of people in a
common purpose.
Reem Al Faisal is a granddaughter of the Saudi king Feisal.
Her photographs have been exhibited in France, Egypt,
China, and Korea, and Palestine.
Seyyed Hossein Nasr is professor of Islamic studies at
George Washington University, and the author of more
than thirty books on philosophy and religion.

Before the Throne
Naguib Mahfouz
A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Raymond Stock
The Nobel laureate puts Egypt’s leaders on trial
In this extraordinary drama-in-dialog, Naguib Mahfouz
reveals his love for all of Egypt’s extensive history—
and his deep knowledge of it. In Before the Throne,
he summons nearly sixty of Egypt’s rulers to the
afterlife Court of Osiris, from a king who unified
Egypt for the first time, around 3000 BC, to a president
assassinated by religious extremists in 1981.
He includes names as familiar as the pharaoh
Ramesses II and as obscure as the medieval vizier
Qaraqush. Defending their behavior before the divine
tribunal, those who acted for the nation’s good are
honored with immortality, but those who failed to
protect it leave the gilded hall of eternal justice with
a very different verdict.
Full of Mahfouz’s unique insight into his country’s
timeless qualities, this controversial work skillfully
traces five thousand years of Egypt’s past as it
flows into the present, through the mind of its most
acclaimed author.
Also by Naguib Mahfouz:
The Mirage
Khan al-Khalili
Cairo Modern
Karnak Café
Naguib Mahfouz (1911–2006), born in the crowded Cairo
district of Gamaliya, wrote nearly forty novel-length works,
plus hundreds of short stories and numerous screenplays.
He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1988.
Raymond Stock is writing a biography of Naguib Mahfouz.
He is the translator of numerous works by Mahfouz, most
recently Dreams of Departure (AUC Press, 2007).

A Dog with No Tail
Hamdi Abu Golayyel
A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Robin Moger
Winner of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for
Literature, 2008
In a world with no meaning, meaning is an act . . .
This is a story about building things up and knocking them down. Here are the campfire tales of Egypt’s
dispossessed and disillusioned, the anti-Arabian Nights.
Our narrator, a rural immigrant from the Bedouin
villages of the Fayoum, an aspiring novelist and construction laborer of the lowest order, leads us down
a fractured path of reminiscence in his quest for purpose and identity in a world where the old orders and
traditions are powerless to help.
Bawdy and wistful, tragicomic and bitter, his stories
loop and repeat, crackling with the frictive energy
of colliding worlds. These are the tales of Cairo’s
new Bedouin, men not settled by the state but permanently uprooted by it. Like their lives, their stories
are dislocated and unplotted, mapping out their quest
for meaning in the very act of placing brick on brick
and word on word.
Hamdi Abu Golayyel was born in the Fayoum, Egypt, in
1967. He is the author of Thieves in Retirement (AUC
Press, 2007). A Dog with No Tail was awarded the Naguib
Mahfouz Medal for Literature in 2008.
Robin Moger studied Egyptology and Arabic at Oxford and
worked as a journalist in Cairo for six years. He currently

A Modern Arabic Novel

Shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic
Fiction (the ‘Arabic Booker’)
An ironic view of Iraqi intellectual life in the sixties
Cairo, Mother of the World, embraces millions—but
some of her children make their home in the streets,
junked up and living in the shadows of wealth and
among the monuments that the tourists flock to see.
Mustafa, a former student radical who never believed
in the slogans, sets out to tell their story, but he has
to rely on the help of his American girlfriend, Marcia,
who he is not sure he can trust. Meanwhile, his former
leftist friends are now all either capitalists or Islamists.
Alienated from a corrupt and corrupting society,
Mustafa watches as the Cairo he cherishes crumbles
around him. The men and women of the city struggle
to find lovers worthy of their love and causes worthy
of their sacrifice in a country that no longer deserves
their loyalty. The children of the streets wait for the adults
to take notice. And the foreigners can always leave.
After a failed study mission in France, Abd al-Rahman
returns home to Iraq to launch an existentialist movement akin to that of his hero. Convinced that it falls
upon him to introduce his country’s intellectuals to
Sartre’s thought, he feels especially qualified by his
physical resemblance to the philosopher and by his
marriage to Germaine, who he claims is the great
man’s cousin. Meanwhile, his wealth and family
prestige guarantee him an idle life spent in drinking,
debauchery, and frequenting a well-known nightclub.
But is his suicide an act of philosophical despair,
or a reaction to his friend’s affair with Germaine? A
biographer chosen by his presumed friends narrates
the story of a somewhat bewildered young man
who—like other members of his generation—was
searching for a meaning to his life.
This parody of the abuses and extravagances of
pseudo-philosophers in the Baghdad of the sixties
throws into relief the Iraqi intellectual and cultural
life of the time.
Mekkawi Said was born in Cairo in 1955. His first collection
of short stories appeared in 1981, and since then he has
produced four more. His first novel won the Suad Sabbah
Arab Creativity Prize in 1991. Cairo Swan Song, his second
novel, was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic
Fiction (the ‘Arabic Booker’) in 2008.
Adam Talib, an alumnus of the University of California, Los
Angeles and the American University in Cairo, is pursuing
a doctorate in Arabic literature at Oxford.
Ali Bader, born in Baghdad in 1964, is the author of nine
novels. He now lives in Amman, Jordan.
Aida Bamia is professor of Arabic language and literature
at the University of Florida in Gainesville. She is the translator of The Image, the Icon, and the Covenant by Sahar
Khalifeh (AUC Press, 2007).

Contemporary Iraqi Fiction
Mahdi Issa al-Saqr
An Anthology
A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Paul Starkey
Edited and Translated by
A novel of life in the British-run oilfields of Iraq in
the middle of the twentieth century
Set among the oil wells of the Basra region of
southern Iraq, where the writer spent much of his
working life, this carefully crafted novel draws on
the author’s own experiences to paint a picture at
once subtle and vivid of relations between the
British and their local employees in the 1950s.
Much of the action is seen through the eyes of
the young, bookish narrator, who is clearly modeled
on the author himself. It soon becomes clear that
a world of difference separates the lives of Abu Jabbar,
Hussein, Istifan, and the rest from that of their
European bosses with their company dances and
other strange social customs.
Although the novel has a strongly nationalistic
flavor, it is also suffused with a lingering sense of
nostalgia for a gentler age, which will inevitably
prompt reflections on the more recent British and
US involvement in that unhappy country.
Mahdi Issa al-Saqr, born in Basra in 1930, is the author of
seven novels. He died in Baghdad in 2006.
Paul Starkey is head of the Arabic Department at the University of Durham, England. He is the translator of Mansoura

Shakir Mustafa
A literary reflection of Iraqi diversity
This first anthology of its kind gathers work from
sixteen Iraqi writers. Shedding a bright light on the
rich diversity of Iraqi experience, Shakir Mustafa has
included selections by Iraqi women and men from
a variety of backgrounds.
While each voice is distinct, they are united in
writing about a homeland that has suffered under
repression, censorship, war, and occupation. Many
of the selections mirror these grim realities, forcing
the writers to open up new narrative terrains and
experiment with traditional forms. Themes range
from childhood and family to war, political oppression, and interfaith relationships. Mustafa provides
biographical sketches of the writers and an enlightening introduction chronicling the evolution of
Iraqi literature.
Includes works by: Ibtisam Abdullah, Ibrahim
Ahmed, Lutfiyya al-Dulaimi, Mayselun Hadi,
Muhammad Khodayyir, Samira Al-Mana, Nasrat
Mardan, Shmuel Moreh, Samir Naqqash, Abdul

Being Abbas el Abd

A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Humphrey Davies
A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Elliott Colla
A new paperback edition of the eye-opening and
refreshingly original debut novel from an emerging
Egyptian writer
A new paperback edition of the novel set against
the Cairo ‘bread riots’ of 1977 from the author of
Nile Sparrows
“The millennial generation’s most celebrated literary
achievement.”
—Al-Ahram Weekly
One long winter night and the Cairo neighborhood
of Kit Kat stands at a crossroads. Poised like herons
fishing on the banks of the Nile, the characters of
this novel wait and watch as opportunities swim by
past their reach. Some gaze on as their local café
is stolen before their eyes. One studies how the
nouveaux riches of the Open Door Policy make their
money, while others try their own hand at swindle.
Still others read the empty rhetoric of state-run newspapers and wonder what it all means.
Since it first appeared in 1984, The Heron has
been a classic of modern Arabic literature. It has been
translated into a number of European languages and
adapted as the successful film Kit Kat.
“What is madness?” asks the narrator of Ahmed
Alaidy’s jittery, funny, and angry novel. Assuring
readers that they are about to find out, the narrator
takes us on a journey through the insanity of
present-day Cairo—in and out of minibuses, malls,
and crash pads, navigating the city’s pinball machine
of social life with tolerable efficiency.
But lurking under the rocks in his grouchy,
chain-smoking, pharmaceutically-oriented, twentysomething life are characters like his elusive psychiatrist uncle with a disturbing interest in phobias.
And with friends like Abbas, what paranoiac needs
enemies?
Ahmed Alaidy, born in 1974, has written satirical stories
for young people and currently writes a political comic
strip for an Egyptian weekly.

A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Paul Starkey
A Modern Arabic Novel
Translated by Roger Allen
A new paperback edition of the story of a young
woman lost in a chaotic world
New paperback edition
Set in the house of Yusuf el Tagi, Maryam’s Maze
relates the story of a woman struggling to find her
way through the confusion of the world around her.
The inner maze of dreams and memories in which
the young Maryam finds herself stirs greater resonance in issues of modern Egyptian life, in a haunting allegorical tale that reveals its real meaning to
the reader only at the end of the novel.
Mansoura Ez Eldin has published a collection of short stories,
and presently runs the book review section of the literary
magazine Akhbar al-adab. Maryam’s Maze is her first novel.
Paul Starkey is head of the Arabic Department at the
University of Durham, England. He is the translator of Mahdi
Isa al-Saqr’s East Winds, West Winds (AUC Press, 2009).
The Theocrat takes as its subject one of Arab and
Islamic history’s most perplexing figures, al-Hakim
bi-Amr Illah (“the ruler by order of God”), the Fatimid
caliph who ruled Egypt during the tenth century and
whose career was a direct reflection of both the tensions within the Islamic dominions as a whole and of
the conflicts within his own mind. In this remarkable
novel Bensalem Himmich explores these tensions
and conflicts and their disastrous consequences on
an individual ruler and on his people. Himmich does
not spare his readers the full horror and tragedy of
al-Hakim’s reign, but in employing a variety of textual
styles he succeeds brilliantly in painting a portrait of
a character whose sheer unpredictability throws into
relief the qualities of those who find themselves forced
to cajole, confront, or oppose him.
Bensalem Himmich has written several novels and collections
of poems. His novel The Polymath received the Naguib
Mahfouz Medal for Literature in Cairo and was published
by the AUC Press in 2004.
Roger Allen is professor of Arabic language and literature at
the University of Pennsylvania. He has translated numerous
works of Arabic literature including Bensalem Himmich’s
The Polymath (AUC Press, 2004) and, most recently, Naguib
Mahfouz’s Khan al-Khalili (AUC Press, 2008).
