Egypt for Your Holdiay

Description
-
Two yellow pyramids sit behind a large green palm tree that sets the scene for Egyptian tourists. Three male tourists sit together, one, facing the viewer, drinking out of a tea cup wheres a floppy brimmed white hat, the man to the right of him has his back facing the viewer and smokes a cigarette, and the man to the right of him, whose face is profile to the viewer, wheres a fedora and smokes out of a pipe. In front of these gentlemen, at the very foreground, stands a local dressed in what looks to be a traditional Islamic galabiyya and a tarboosh. In his hands he has a silver tray that holds a teacup, a silver teapot, and a silver cream serving container. This friendly, casual scene of afternoon tea set against the image of the pyramids gives viewers the sense that Egypt though glorious can be a great place for a casual vacation. Tourist may go about their days with leisure but whenever they wish they can travel into the desert to see the magnificence of an ancient world.
