Mr. Mohamed Arabi: The “Bird Man” of Aswan
Return to the Tour Egypt Feature Story, Mr. Mohamed Arabi: The Bird Man of Aswan
Aswan is somewhat different than other places along the Egyptian Nile Valley, with its cataract, and some great places for bird watchers.

What a wonderful colour photographs! Interesting article for any lover of birds, ornithologist and….perhaps even for other Egyptologists apart from myself! More interested in Ancient Egyptian names of birds? You could take a look into my article: On the names of Birds and Hieroglyphic Sign-List G 22, G 35 and H 3, in: Jaarbericht van.. Ex Oriente Lux (JEOL) 32 1991-1992 (1993), 119-130.

March 2007 Have just returned from a Nile cruise, and was privileged to experience a bird-watching tour with Mr Arabi - I would have seen nothing without his help, and his expertise was wonderful to me!
