The Great Pyramids of Giza have been a major tourist attraction for centuries. A group of visitors pose by the World Wonder at the turn of the 20th century, in 1902, in this photography by Selim Abou Izzedin. While Egyptian society has undergone a dramatic transformation since this photograph was taken, the national landmark remains relatively unchanged. Visitors, past and present, enjoy camel and horse rides at the foot of the pyramids. The Arab Image Foundation is a non-profit organization established in Lebanon in 1997. The Foundation aims to locate, collect, preserve and promote the photographic heritage of the Middle East and North Africa. You can visit their extensive collection on www.fai.org.lb, and over the next weeks, in collaboration with AIF, THE DAILY STAR EGYPT will be featuring a selection of photographs from the foundation's collection. Keep an eye on this column for our upcoming competition /p
