Dokki Bits & Pieces: "Egypt : A Journey In Time !!"

Fellows in Service;

We are still celebrating Egypt as part of the "10 Countries in 10 Months" project in which we celebrate countries of our District 2450. We have already posted posts showing different myths and folkores of Egypt ( Check old posts ).

In this post we'll do a different thing; we will show photos of Egypt during the early years of the last millinium and give you some info about the places, people and land marks. So lets start a journey that will show you a glimpse of our history :)

Kasr El-Nil Bridge (Translated Nile Palace Bridge)

It was built during the rein of Chedive Ismail and was widened by King Fouad I and named "Chedive Ismail Bridge" to gain its original name back after the 1952 Revolution. This bridge is well known for its 4 lions' statues two bordering each side of the bridge.
