Victorian khawagas being tourists in Egypt in the late 1800s: Fascination with Egypt’s antiquities has been well documented over the years. “While it’s forbidden for tourists nowadays to clamber up Egypt’s pyramids to take a snap, back in Victorian times it was all the rage,” Naomi Leach writes for Mail Online. She published a number of vintage photographs from the 1890s to the 1930s capture tourists “enjoying picnics and having an after-lunch nap, inside a temple with hieroglyphics,” including the one above, taken circa 1989.
