The book chronicles the author's explorations and observations of Egypt and its ancient sites, particularly focusing on Alexandria and the Nile region. Throughout the text, the author reflects on historical landmarks, cultural interactions, and the modern state of the cities he visits. At the start of this volume, the reader is introduced to the historical significance of Alexandria, detailing its once-great status as a thriving hub of commerce and culture, now reduced to ruins. The narrative focuses on the current state of the city and its inhabitants, describing the demographic mix of Arabs, Greeks, Jews, and Europeans, alongside the challenges they face, such as a lack of education and infrastructure. The author also shares vivid descriptions of ancient monuments, comparing past glory with present decay, while preparing to venture further along the Nile towards the Cairo region, where the political climate is fraught with instability and conflict.
