Ibreem. Photographer: Douglas, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View across the Nile at Qasr Ibrim, looking towards the cliff rising from the far bank, where a dahabieh is moored: 'Ibreem is a rugged rocky hill about 600 feet high, which encroaches upon and literally overhangs the river. Its base on all sides is literally honeycombed with tombs; the greater number, however, have been defaced or destroyed; but on the river side, where the face of the hill is perpendicular, and where the tombs are only accessible by means of ropes or of a long ladder, they are still in good preservation, and bear the dates and names of the Pharoahs who reigned from 1600 to 1450 B.C.'
