Egypt 1920s

This very rare collection of silent newsreels filmed in Egypt in 1920s , they show us an Egypt we only read about in books. They are very interesting showing faces and places that changed by time like instance this magnificent view of the Nile in front of the Pyramid during the flood , the view we do not see anymore because of the high Dam in Aswan , the view of Mahmal celebration , the view of the water carrier who does not exist anymore ..etc.

Most of these newsreels were filmed for tourism in Europe.

I hope you enjoy that collection.
