Warner reaches the gates of the East, explores Cairo’s bazaars, mosques and tombs, hears the call to prayer and climbs the Pyramids, then hires a boat for a long voyage up the Nile. He writes of the river-bank villages, boatmen, Christmas on the water, temples and the Egypt of the Khedive Ismail with humour and sharp observation.
