"It’s twilight in the Nubian Village and I’m greeted by a cacophony of cheerful chaos. Juddering tuktuks make way for crotchety camels. The breathtaking cotton candy skies are punctuated by power lines. Clay cottages are adorned with motley motifs and dipped in kaleidoscopic colour: palm trees, crescent moons and desert curiosities. Now, I have no need to roam. My colourful heart has found its colourful home."
"An ode to the last queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. A ruler, icon and enchantress whose legend is woven through the very fabric of this land. Whether dripping in magic, wrapped in sunlight, lit from within or captured on film, she is as enduring a symbol as the lotus or the ankh. Forever imbued with goddess energy. Regal, ruthless, serpentine, divine, and ever enigmatic."
"Crouching low, padding on my palms, I navigate the passages of the catacombs of KomEl Shuqafa. Cultures combine in this secret subterranean hideaway. Roman, Greek and Egyptian carvings fascinate in a magical fusion of architectural motifs. Animal headed gods, stately columns, elegant archways. So deeply underground, I could almost touch the soul of the Earth, and yet my heart is soaring."
"Al Manial Palace is a wonderland fusion of Moorish motifs, European Art Nouveau and traditional Islamic architecture. Tiles, tapestries and taxidermy, drenched in palatial florals and gilded details. I wander, embracing the obscure and arcane. Butterflies, pythons and pheasants suspended in time. I long to capture it all. For a moment time stands still, but ‘forever young’ is a futile fantasy. I let the moment slip through my fingers."
"Welcome to Egyptomania: the reincarnation of inspiration. A pharaoh’s tomb unearthed, afront pagefrenzy, a sand storm of style that sweeps from the Sahara to Sunset Boulevard. It’s a gilded age of pyramid pinups and Hollywood hieroglyphs. The art of the ancients resurrected in bejewelled headdresses, Sphinxian ceramics and sharp-edged architecture. An influential infatuation to echo through Art Deco."
"Every monument lures my gaze skyward. But curiosity tugs me back to earth. What I wouldn’t give to rewind to their beginnings… to see the birth of this masterpiece; that moment when the wildly senseless became tangible and true. When one vibrant vision overcame a chorus of doubt and elegance emerged from grains of golden sand. Passion spun from purpose. A flight of fancy that took flawless form. I whisper thanks to the heroes that shaped history with their hands."
"A love letter to the sanctuaries. The havens, hideaways and bathhouses of Egypt, where we find moments of solitude and respite. They nestle in quiet, unexpected corners, awash with colour and softened with the shape of nature. Tumbling florals and tranquil flamingo soothe my soul, and overhead, clouds cushion choirs of angels. Breathe in, breathe out. The oasis is wherever you find it."
