Part of the beauty of Egypt I think, is the way some of those could have been pics from last week.

That harmony of ancient, old, modern. [Smile]

Exactly, Sheba, it looks like modernization didn't take completely over..... many things stayed the same.

Hi, great that you like them! I do too! [Smile]

And no I am not a trader I collect because of interest and fun.

Right now I own approximately 400 original postcards (no reproductions!) and finding interesting motives gets harder. Most of these vintage pcs I have were published by the Cairo Postcard Trust. They mean so much to me and are well treasured.

Start collecting yourself; you won't regret it! [Smile]

Hey, are you collecting too? [Smile]


I just received mail from Minnesota (no not from Sono! [Wink] ). The postcard is good 100 years old and shows the famous Shepheard's Hotel:
