Street Graphics Egypt

Product Description

The street graphics of modern Egypt reflect three distinct cultures and visual styles: ancient Egyptian imagery, a developing Western international style and the traditional Arabic calligraphy of Egypt's Islamic majority.
Thousands of years ago, Egyptians carved a pictorial history of Pharaonic culture on their temples, tombs and monuments. Representations and interpretations of this ancient culute saturate modern Egypt's tourism industry, from hostel signs and theme parks to the souvenirs sold by street hawkers.
