Photography \u2014 one of the reasons Egypt became so interesting to tourists: <\/strong>There is no doubt that photography and tourism go hand in hand, you see a picturesque image of a city while scrolling through social media and just like that your next vacation destination is decided upon. And when you reach that destination, your phone never leaves your hand as you capture shot after shot.<\/p>\n

Photography as a driver <\/strong>of the 19th<\/strong> century <\/strong>Egyptomania<\/a><\/strong>: <\/strong>Between the 18th and 20th centuries, Europe and the US were crazy for Egypt and anything Egypt-related, which consequently resulted in a boom in tourism. Nineteenth-century tourist photographs of Egypt (pdf)<\/a> did not only feature the cliche landscapes and historical monuments \u2014 they also included images that fit into the western idea of everyday Egyptian life. Musicians, craftsmen, merchants and \u201clocal people\u201d were posed and photographed specifically to fit the western ideas of what Egypt is.<\/p>\n

Some notable photography collections from the 19th century: <\/strong>Some of the most prominent photographs dating back to the 19th century include the works of the German R.M. Junghaendel<\/a>, whose heliogravures of Egypt are still being auctioned off<\/a> to this day. Junghaendel\u2019s work features all the cliches the west loves about Egypt \u2014 the pyramids, temples, camels and dancing women. There are also photographs of the Italian-British Antonio Beato<\/a>, which captures what remains of Ancient Egypt from the Karnak Temple<\/a> and the Temple of Philae<\/a> to the typical pyramids and Sphinx shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>hen there are Maxime Du Camp\u2019s 59 photographs \u2014 which arguably birthed travel photography: <\/strong>The French Du Camp traveled Egypt from 1849 to 1950 with novelist Gustave Flaubert, and during his time here, he captured 59 black and white photographs<\/a> using his wooden Calotype camera and tripod and then using jugs of chemicals to develop the images. The images capture Ancient Egypt and its many monuments including the Mosque of Sultan Hassan and the Temple of Isis. Du Camp\u2019s card prints of the collection were up for bid in 2016.<\/p>\n

Photography and tourism are so intertwined, it has prompted regulatory changes: <\/strong>Back in the summer of 2019, the Tourism Ministry decided to cancel<\/a> the fees for mobile photography inside museums and archeological sites. The decision came as part of the ministry\u2019s efforts to promote Egyptian antiquities and encourage the tourist movement in Egypt. Last year state agencies cooperated with the EU to launch the 13th edition of the EU\u2019s photography competition, titled \u201cA Journey to Egypt\u2019s Past and Future<\/a>.\u201d The competition aims to encourage Egyptian photography enthusiasts to portray the beauty of Egypt\u2019s historical monuments and last year over 642 photographers applied<\/a>, submitting more than 1.6k photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
