Cleopatra's Needle: Two Wheels by the Water to Cairo [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

"Evocative reading" (Observer)

"A book about the true spirit found in real travellers, written by a real traveller" (Wanderlust)

It was a blustery April morning on the Thames Embankment in London when Anne Mustoe set out on a phenomenal lone cycle ride - to the original site of Cleopatra's Needle at Heliopolis in Egypt.

Leaving behind home comforts, she set herself the challenge of travelling close to water wherever possible - via the Seine and the Rhone, then alongside the Burgundy canal, the Po and the Venetian Lagoon. Before she would reach her final waterway - the evocative Nile - Ms Mustoe would encounter the dusty yet beguiling Near East: Turkey, Syria, the Lebanon and finally Egypt itself.

Anne Mustoe weaves a story of exquisite detail laced with the understated humour that has become her hallmark.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
