Egypt: Its People

Challenge #50 in the around the world in 80 ways series. Hosted by santamonica812.

Challenge has finished

As we finish our quick trip around the Middle East, we land in Egypt. There is so much to shoot here, so you all better bring you "A" game and give us images that are new and fresh. Both environmental and traditional portraits are fine.
