Postcards

As we were walking around Aswan at Christmas, we noticed a large number of what can only be described as "terrible" postcards. These are cards that are either decades out of date, feature bland focal points, or are generally uninspiring considering they're designed to be bought.

However, as if to undermine the truly shocking nature of these cards - and the fact they really should be left to rot in the sun - we have started to buy them. It's taken us a while to get round to scanning and uploading them, but for your enjoyment here's our first batch!

Taba: Where dreams are made of concrete!

Ruwi: The pride of the Omani transport network

Philae: even older than the postcard

Nuweiba: dock here and wish you hadn't bothered

Esna Lock: Boats! Water! Concrete!

Dahab: The best bins in Egypt

Dahab: to be fair, this one is quite nice and shows the Lighthouse reef where we did our PADI Open Water

The Cairo TV Tower: transmitting shows that are as uninspiring as the architecture

The Cairo Tower: you guessed it - more concrete!
