A Glimpse into Egypt in the 1920s

I came across these beautiful pictures of Egypt captured in the 1920s by Gervais Courtellemont and W. Robert Moore for the National Geographic. They've left me in such awe that I decided to share them with everyone. What a wonderful glimpse back in time it is...

Sometimes I wish I could be taken back in time, when it was more peaceful and humble...

All pictures are from here. These are just some of the pictures featured...

Before I begin posting about my past week, I decided to create a post solely on the highlight of this week - the successful revolution in Egypt! Now that I finally have a bit of time to post this =P....

I have been following the protests since Day 1 and was SO pleased when I heard the good news! Now, let's all just hope & pray that the rest of Egypt's future will be peaceful!

~Below are some of the pictures around the globe celebrating in victory =)~
