Fatimide Cemetary

There are small children’s graves and big tombs for holy men. Hiring one of the “guides” at the entrance is well worth a small Baksheesh.

Travel Photography Forum

From mails and guest book entries, it is clear that many of the people visiting this site are fellow-photographers. So, why not talk directly to each other? I created a "yahoo club" for travel photography back in 1998 and this group now has more than 2000 members. So, if you want to ask for advice, discuss photo issues or post some photos to the group galleries, Travel Photo Forum might be of interest to you. Hope to see you there! Laurenz ...
