Stunning Black and White Photos of Egypt Across the Ages

The Dubai Photo Exhibition, held in a number of venues in Dubai earlier this month, featured Egypt as one of 23 countries on display with photographs that date as far back as the 1920s.

These pictures reveal how photography style and techniques have evolved as well as Egypt’s depth and beauty over time.
