One
of the very few civilizations with a long, continuous
and fascinating history is that of Egypt. From
the relics of prehistory and the wonders of Ancient
Egypt to the brilliant civilization of the medieval
period, a wealth of art and architecture, which
constitutes a sizable portion of the worlds
heritage, is located in Egypt. Egypt is also blessed
with immensely varied wildlife and habitats; the
fertile Nile Valley is hemmed in by arid deserts
that stretch to the seas, the limpid waters of
which reveal natures infinite variety, from
sea grasses to the teeming life of the coral reefs.
Egypt has been traversed by migratory peoples
since time immemorial; some have settled in this
ancient land and each group has influenced the
landscape.
At Image House, backed by meticulous research,
we see our mission as a challenge to explore,
document and raise awareness of our natural and
cultural heritage and to advocate conservation
and sustainability.
In order to meet the challenge we have created
a synergy between architect and photographer;
between writer and diver in which the results
include park infrastructure, exhibits, publications,
films and electronic media designed to empower
conservation, encourage the people of Egypt to
take greater individual responsibility for their
country's resources and to reveal Egypts
riches to the world.
