Sand Dunes

Dune types A barchan (pronounced bar-KAN) dune, sometimes known as a crescentic dune, is a crescent or U-shaped dune that has its “horns” or tips pointing downwind or away from the wind. Barchans arise where sand supply is limited, where the ground is hard, and where wind direction is fairly constant. They form around shrubs or larger rocks, which act as anchors to hold the main part of the dune in place while the tips migrate with the wind. Barchan dunes occur widely in deserts around Earth.

White Desert

The White Desert (known as Sahara el Beyda, with the word Sahara meaning a desert). The White Desert of Egypt is located 45 km (30 miles) north of Farafra. The desert contains a white, cream color and has massive chalk rock formations that have been created as a result of occasional sandstorms in the area. These wind-sculpted forms look deceptively close to a gallery of ice-sculptures amidst this very hot desert backdrop.

The Northern coast of Egypt extends for about 1050 km (652 miles) from Rafa’h to the east, on the Egyptian-Palestinian border, to Sallum in the west, on the Egyptian-Libyan border. The coastline borders both the Arabian desert and the Sahara, including the Suez Canal and the Nile delta as the northern gateway to Africa. Before the advent of commercial airliners flying directly through Cairo, the Nile and the Gulf of Suez were the main transportation areas for travel further into the African continent, from Europe and Asia.

Stage

Stage photography is a collection of shots conveying harmony and expression through motion; where body language is the essence and vehicle of the captured emotions. This liberal form of expression transmits emotional impact on each recipient as it is perceived subjectively by the viewer.

Abstract

Abstract art Photography uses a visual language of form and color to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from objects or visual references in the world. By taking the essence of the photo or a portion of the photo and by using color and or the form in an aesthetic arrangement or combination, the photographic abstraction becomes art. Expressions in this category are derived from my own view point.

Pharaonic

Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of eastern North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern state of Egypt. The civilization coalesced around 3150 BC[1] with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia.[2] Its history occurred in a series of comparatively stable periods, labeled by scholars today as Kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods.

Architecture photography in this gallery is a synthesis of different Architectural styles and forms (historical, aged, and contemporary) of the vast cultural, domestic and religious heritage of Egypt.

Birds

Bird photography is one of the most challenging types of nature photography. Always eager to flee the scene, wild birds are often difficult to approach and they never stay in one place for long. But even in-flight, they create fluid outlines as they glide, effortlessly suspended.

Arabian Horses

The Arabian horse has captivated mankind for centuries with its beauty, intelligence and stamina. It is regarded as the most influential breed in the world. The Bedouin of the Arabian Desert created the oldest and purest breed of horse in the merciless terrain of their homeland.

Aswan

Aswan , Egypt’s sunniest southern city and ancient frontier town located about 81 miles south of Luxor, has a distinctively African atmosphere. Its ancient Egyptian name was Syene. Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the lucid Nile waters, the pace of life is slow and relaxing.
