Ottoman Empire - Science topic

I recommend the BAEDECKER Guide to Aegipt (Italian Edition by De Agostini) for its completeness in Historical, Touristic Guide, Linguistical, Iconographical and illustrations.

are you interested in the "mode of production" and which it was? Which period are we talking about?

Hassan and Hussein are not important only for shia. All the Sunnis are respectful for them. Ehl-i Beyt (Family of the prophet) are sacred for Sunnis. You can see Hassan and Hussein's names in almost all of the mosques of Turkey.

Russia has decided to stop all flights to Egypt until the necessary flight safety conditions are met. Tourists who buy Egyptian tours are offered an alternative to take them to Turkey. Russian tourists also had problems before traveling to Turkey. The number of Russian tourists in Turkey has decreased very much. But these problems were partially overcome and the Russians started to go back to Turkey.

A similar process can be experienced in Egypt. The problems with Egypt will be overcome, but time is needed. Egypt made preparations to welcome Russian tourists; they took extra security precautions, set up armed guards in the hotels... But these are not words that are very compatible with tourism. I do not think there will be any improvement in a short time. In the short run it seems impossible. However, as before, people will be able to travel to Egypt again without worrying.

Political problems can create problems for tourism. However, as we have seen many examples in history, when the political problems are over, the problem ends with tourists. Russian tourists' trips to Egypt will be shaped according to political affiliation.

I want to correct part of the story on my grandfather's trip to the Holy Land. Actually, he did the trip when he was 7 years old accompanied by his grandmother. It was a big group from his village that travelled together. The year was 1886.

Dear Ivo, thank you very much for the books you've sent me! I will search in them for the things that interest me.

bonjour, 

vous pouvez sans doute demander à Nicola Melis,  Universita' di Cagliari.

bon courage

Well, I too hope it won't take a couple of years. Until that time comes, I will change my interests in that topic. I hope that our constant inquiry in this situation and public interest will speed up the process.

Erika,

there is an even higher resolution coloring of the 1576 embassy on the Russian Wikipedia page. The caption lists the main people in the embassy and identifies them by their clothing, starting with (I'm following the original spelling) "Der Obriste abgesandte Knesch oder Fürst: Zachary Iwanwitsch Sugursky, hof Juncker und Stadthalter zum Weissen Sehe..." Hope this helps.
