An Explorer's Guide to the Best Places to Visit in Egypt
Posted in: Cultural Travel, Egypt | 2 Comments
Getting lost in temple corridors, descending into tombs, and witnessing the crossing of historical and religious timelines in structures and scripture carvings, deciding where to go and the best places to visit in Egypt can be quite a list to narrow down.
But on a route that uses Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan as the main bases, you can cover a lot of ground combining city visits, day trips to sites tucked away in deserts, and on coastlines by cruising on the Nile.
You will want to see as many as possible since every site is unique. From Ancient Egyptian sites to ones with a multi-layered history over the ages, you will never stop marvelling at how people built these colossal structures or how such carvings and paintings have survived to the point that they look like they were added just a few years ago. You will stare endlessly at the murals, as you try to piece together the historical timeline they are telling you.

What Are the Best Places to Visit in Egypt?
It's hard to put an exact number on exactly how many sites there are to visit in Egypt. Aside from the dozens already on show, many others are open but too far away to reach easily or are currently being excavated. Plus, with new sites constantly being discovered, even under peoples' houses, Egypt will never be a one-visit destination. And who knows what different perspective you will have when you return to a site you once stood in before.
So where to begin with all this archaeological excitement?
In a 12-day round trip from Cairo with G Adventures, I not only got to realise a childhood dream to visit Egypt (I had my heart set on being an Egyptologist) but I was also able to see more sights in 10 full trip days on a small group tour than I would have in trying to organise each area independently. Which is also possible but requires more time and on-the-ground hassle than it may be worth.
Here's where to go in Egypt and what to see to explore the very best of Ancient Egypt and beyond.
Cairo – Home of the Last Remaining Wonder of the World
Cairo is where you come to tour the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. It's a rite of passage to traverse this highlight of Egypt in the once remote desert area of Giza that sits on the western side of the Nile River across from Cairo city in the East, before exploring the old city.
The site of the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx is one of the first you will visit in Egypt
Giza Pyramids Necropolis
How does it feel to stand before the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence? Unimaginable. Nothing can describe the feeling of seeing the only remaining wonder of the world that you once marvelled at in history books and pictures.
They estimate that up to 2.5 million stone blocks were used to build the Great Pyramid of Giza by hand. And when you realise just how tiny you are in comparison to just ONE of those stones, you understand what a magnificent feat of architecture this was for the time.
The Great Pyramid and last remaining Ancient Wonder of the World awaits
Visiting the most iconic landmark of Egypt was the first major stop on the G Adventures trip. It's on everyone's list, and they will make sure you are one of the first there to avoid major crowds. Coupled with the insights of our Egyptologist CEO, you learn so much more about the historical structures when they are looming in front of your very eyes.
Giza Pyramids Ticket Price:
Giza Pyramids: 160 EGP
Entry to inside the Great Pyramid: 360 EGP
Entry to inside the 2nd or the 3rd Pyramid: 100 EGP
Entry to the Solar Boat Museum: 100 EGP
Giza Necropolis Opening Hours: 06:00 – 22:00
Egyptian Museum Visit and Egyptian Museum Mummy Room
The Egyptian Museum contains over 120,000 artefacts documenting every period of Egyptian history. The main highlight is seeing all the treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun and the Egyptian Mummy Room where you can gaze upon some of Egypt's greatest rulers, like Ramesses II.
Gazing at one of the many thousands of artefacts in The Egyptian Museum
Our G CEO, Said was not only present to facilitate our trip and get us from A to B easily, but also a local with expert knowledge and qualifications in Egyptian history and archaeology. Egyptians are so proud of their history, and people like Said impart the facts and stories with great passion.
The fascinating. history-filled corridors of The Egyptian Museum are as much a highlight on your trip to Egypt as the temples and tombs themselves
Opening hours: 09:00 – 19:00, on Fridays 09:00- 11:00 and 1:30- 19:00
Egyptian Museum Ticket Price: 60 EGP (regular); 30 EGP (student)
Mummies Room entrance price: 100 EGP (regular); 60 EGP (student)
Photography ticket cost: 50 EGPtravel
Khan el-Khalili Bazaar Visit
The stalls of bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, which are mainly catering to tourists, didn't overwhelm me but as the main bazaar of Cairo, it is good to wander around and see it as part of the overall makeup of the city. For more local goods such as gold, silver, copper, perfumes and antiques it is famous for, venture off into the narrow side streets where you can try your luck with some haggling.

Islamic and Coptic Cairo Tour
Before I started my big Egypt tour I made sure to arrive early to make the most of my time in Cairo and view the city aside from its Ancient Egyptian fame. Hearing that Cairo was dirty and uninteresting I wanted to take a Cairo walking tour with a local to try and understand a city that has a rich history but a negative reputation.
Take a walking tour in Cairo and see more of it aside from its Ancient Egyptian fame
A city where different faiths stand side by side and where history is layered from the church foundations to the high reaches of Mosque minarets.
It's a huge city, where the Coptic and Islamic sites are spread out and so I enlisted the help of a female guide from a local walking tour company who was able to introduce me to the city in a half-day exploration taking in the Hanging Church, Church of St.George, Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church (where the Holy Family came to rest after their journey into Egypt from Israel), routing through Garbage City on the way to Saint Samaan the Tanner Monastery built into the rock and ending in the Islamic part of Cairo.
Entrance to Coptic Cairo's Hanging Church
One highlight was the Sultan Hassan Mosque – a remarkable great of architecture completed in the 1300s after three years of construction. It is one of the largest mosques in the world whose walls stand at nearly 40m tall and the minaret soaring at 68m. You'll often find yourself alone in its corridors filled with delicate carving and detailed paint patterns, before emerging into brightly lit courtyards.

Cairo Walking Tours Cost: 650 EGP for the 4-hour walk. Tours run daily and group size is limited to six people. Modest clothing is required for religious sites.
Sultan Hassan Mosque Ticket Price: 80 EGP
Saqqara and Memphis
On a day trip, we were able to see Memphis and Saqqara, around 2.5 hours drive south of Giza.
Memphis is the ancient capital – where more artefacts have been found and put on display, like the huge statue of Rameses II, and where many more are still being discovered.

Saqqara is the site of Egypt's first Pyramid, the famous Step Pyramid (The Pyramid of Djoser), and a huge archaeological site that is only starting to be extensively uncovered. Like the noble family tombs, which have only been open to the public for the last six months. Who knows what will be here in two years as the work continues to find and understand the history of Ancient Egypt.

Opening hours: 09:00 – 17:00
Saqqara and Memphis trip cost: 650 EGP for up to five hours, including site entry costs, guiding and transport. This trip was undertaken with our G Adventures CEO as part of the overall Egypt tour.
Saqqara Ticket Price: 150 EGP
Saqqara New Tombs Ticket Price: 60 EGP
Memphis Ticket Price: 80 EGP
Monasteries of Wadi Natrun
On the way to Alexandria, we stopped for a tour with a local monk at the Monasteries of Wadi Natrun. If the Coptic sights in Cairo are not enough, this is the chance to delve deeper into the history and importance of Wadi to Coptic Christians. Dating back to the 4th century AD, these sites are some of the earliest Christian monasteries in the world, tucked away in a relatively desolated desert land.

Opening hours: 09:00 – 17:00, on Fridays 09:00- 11:00 and 1:30- 19:00.
Monasteries of Wadi Natrun Ticket Price: 60 EGP
Tour time: One hour
Getting there: Accessible only by car or by bus. Hourly West Delta Buses leave Heliopolis station. Our visit was included in our tour
Alexandria – European Character and Mystery
I always wanted to visit Alexandria, the home of Anthony and Cleopatra whose tombs are yet to be found, and my trip included a loop there and back from Cairo. But it doesn't make a visit to the northern city on the Mediterranean coast any less interesting. Founded by Alexander the Great around 331BC there are still many archaeological treasures to see and a chance to wind down in the streets tinged with a cooling seaside breeze.

Pompey's Pillar
The site as it stands today might be small, hugged by modern apartment complexes, but Pompey's Pillar stands proud. It is a Roman 20-metre tall victory column from 297 AD that was once part of a large Roman temple complex. Erected in 293 for Emperor Diocletian, it stands as one of the largest monolithic columns ever created.

Catacomb of Kom ash-Shuqqafa
We were told than a donkey falling down a shaft from the ground surface, uncovered these hidden tombs of Catacomb of Kom ash-Shuqqafa, carved into the bedrock deep below Alexandria. Accessible via a winding stairwell, they were built in the 2nd Century AD in the age of the Antonine Emperors – the resting place for one wealthy family who was still practising the ancient religion of Egypt with a fusion of Greek and Roman religion, as suggested by the carvings.
Catacomb of Kom ash-Shuqqafa Ticket Price: 80 EGP
The Library of Alexandria was one of the greatest and most famous libraries of the ancient world. A master collection of knowledge that expanded during Greek rule. Destroyed by a fire in the 1st Century BC, what stands in Alexandria now is a new library that is just metres away from the perceived site of the ancient one. It stands with the same ethos – a centrepiece of scholarship and knowledge, available to all.

Opening hours: 10:00 – 19:00 (Monday-Thursday and Sunday), 14:00 – 19:00 (Friday), 14:00 – 16:00 (Saturday),
Library of Alexandria Ticket Price: 80 EGP
Aswan – Nubian Egypt
From Cairo we caught an early flight south to Aswan, giving up optimal time to explore the city nestled on the banks of the Nile and the boardwalk Corniche and get to the surrounding highlights without rushing since they take some hours to get to.
A visit to Abu Simbel is a must-see and ended up being one of my favourite sites of all. The site is comprised of two rock temples carved out of the mountainside in Southern Egypt, built by the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses Il between 1274-1244 BC. One for himself, and one for his wife, Queen Nefertari.
The mountain carved temples of Abu Simbel are one of the best places to visit in Egypt and shouldn't be missed
Both temples are symbolic of love and pride with colossal statues at the entrance over 20 metres high.  Ramesses II dedicated the temple to himself in the godlike form alongside the sun gods Amun and Ra and Ptah of creation. Past the main entrance hall lined with colossal statues, each room continues to play out stories of battles and victories and scenes of offerings to the gods. Ramesses II had a reputation for being a great warrior.

Considered one of Egypt's most beautiful temples, it would now be submerged under Lake Nassar if it weren't for modern engineering working to preserve history.
Both temples were dismantled and relocated in 1964 to a higher elevation to prevent being submerged by the waters of the Nile after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. To think this all could have been lost and be able to stand before it is a privilege.
It takes over three hours to drive from Aswan to the site, close to the Sudan border. It's remote and worth the journey.

Visit a Nubian Village
Boarding a felucca to take a trip along the Nile was more than just viewing Aswan city from the water or spotting the ruins of the Aga Khan Mausoleum on the hillside, but about supporting local initiatives that would otherwise be overshadowed by main tourism drives.
Our transport also was a means to get to spend some time with local people from one of the Nile islands before visiting their Nubian village home for a walking tour and a delicious traditional dinner.

Our Nubian friend, proudly showing off his village that sits on the banks of the Nile in Aswan
The Nubian culture, described as having a distinctively African feel it, is one of the oldest in Egypt (mainly found in Aswan and Southern Egypt) and considered one of the earliest civilisations found in ancient Africa.
The host family (on a rotation basis using more than one household) can use this 'local living moment' on our G Adventures Egypt trip as a regular source of income, while travellers learn about the Nubian people and culture in modern-day Egypt. It's all a part of travelling for good and making sure your tourism dollars are spent directly in local communities.
Sailing across another part of the Nile in Aswan brings you to Philae Temple, which once sat on the southernmost border of Egypt. As it is on an island, the only way to reach it is by boat, which adds a little anticipation to the exploration.
This is a monument where Greek-Roman history sits alongside Ancient Egyptian. Where Greco-Roman columns line the exterior entranceways and the last use of Egyptian hieroglyphs adorn the inner walls. Where Roman ruins sit side-by-side with temple complexes dedicated to deities like Isis, worshipped by the Pharaohs.
Trying to narrow down where to go in Egypt? Don't leave the magnificent Philae Temple in Aswan off the list

Following painstaking reconstruction to ensure its original appearance, the temple is now on nearby Aglika Island as part of a UNESCO protection project. It was moved from Philae Island after it was at threat from being submerged by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. How mind-blowing is that?
To visit Philae Temple you have to reach the island by boat, allowing for incredible views from the water
Philae Temple Ticket Price: 80 EGP
The Unfinished Obelisk
I took an extra excursion to one of the ancient quarries to see the Unfinished Obelisk. Ordered by the female pharaoh Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) it was to be the tallest Egyptian obelisk ever erected. Until that crack happened while being carved out of the quarry.

Aswan Sharia el Souk
The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, the bright colours of textiles and the heady smell of spices – wandering the souk in Aswan is a chance to mingle with the locals, support them and experience this distinct part of Egyptian culture.
Nothing beats a bustling Egypt shopping experience. Sharia el Souk in Aswan is a good way to spend an afternoon
A Trip to Aswan's Sharia el Souk Aswan is especially known for its black pepper, and I was determined to find some to take home for Egyptian inspired dishes. Always shopping local where I can, I met Mr Abed who owns a super spice shop.
Aswan is famous for its black pepper. Be sure to pay Mr Abed a visit to stock up on your Egyptian spices
Take a Nile Cruise Between Aswan and Luxor
Aswan is where we also started our Nile Cruise to Luxor. Heading upriver on a two-day three-night adventure, passing the sandy banks and villages and pockets of an oasis.
Typical coastline views as seen from a Nile Cruise in Egypt – desert lands, pockets of oasis and mountain backdrops
Viewing a temple in Egypt at sunset is a must. Just like how we explored Kom Ombo in its golden glow as one of the excursion stops on our Nile River Cruise.
On the banks on the Nile, Kom Ombo is a 'double temple' with two sides and two entrances, built during the Graeco-Roman period (332 BC-AD 395) and dedicated to the crocodile god, Sobek and the falcon god Horus.

The crocodile, in particular, was important to the people of Ombos; so much so that in excavation mummified crocs were found in catacombs and are now on display in an adjacent viewing area.
There are some interesting carvings here including the ancient calendar system, the first representation of medical instruments for surgery that we still use today (such as scalpels, forceps and scissors) and one of the guards on-site took us on a treasure hunt to find the tiny carving of an elephant.

Luxor
– Land of the Greatest Pharaohs
Like Cairo, Luxor is firmly on the tourism agenda as people flock here to get lost within the sandy, stone enclaves of the Valley of the Kings.
No trip to Egypt is complete without visiting the vast archaeological site of the Valley of the Kings for a day.
One of the best sites in Egypt in the Valley of the Kings – a network of tombs under the Luxor mountain rocks
Located on the ancient site of Thebes in Luxor's West Bank, across the Nile and past vast farming fields, this site is a network of tombs and tunnels – an ancient burial ground and the final resting place for Egypt's New Kingdom rulers.
It is hard to imagine the intricate network of tunnels and tombs that lay underneath you as you wander this rocky basin, as well as knowing you could even be walking amongst dozens more yet to be discovered. In the tombs uncovered, the treasures have been removed (either looted or on show in the Egyptian Museum).
However, each wall painting tells a life story, of triumph and struggle, power and love.
Visiting Ancient Egyptian sites is to constantly marvel
Going deeper underground in tombs at the Valley of the Kings, Egypt
The ticket for the Valley of the Kings grants you entrance to three tombs out of the 63 on-site and our G Adventures CEO was on hand to tell us the best three to visit that were open that day. The wonders of local knowledge.
The most impressive for me was the tomb of Ramses IV which looks almost like a film set (much of ancient Egypt looking so surreal), and of course Tutankhamen's tomb which is worth the extra ticket cost.

Valley of the Kings Ticket Prices:
General Entry (access to three tombs): 160 EGP
Tomb of Ramses VI: 100 EGP
Tomb of Tutankhamun: 250 EGP
Photography Costs: There is an additional 300 EGP fee to take photos in the Valley Of Kings, but it is worth the extra cost to keep these memories.
Tomb of Tutankhamun
Likely the Pharaoh who dominated your school time Egypt history lessons, Tutankhamun is the most famous of them all. Therefore the option to descend into his tomb is a dream come true for most who travel to Egypt and the Valley of the Kings. His treasures may be on show at the Egyptian Museum, but his mummified body is the first thing you see when you enter, before taking a few moments to take in the surroundings and realize what a momentous moment it must have been when this space was first discovered.
The entrance to the Tomb Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings – well worth the extra ticket cost
Temple of Hatshepsut
The classic architectural style of the Temple of Hatshepsut stands more as a symbol of the power of female rulers to the throne of Egypt and the means they had to go to hold onto it. This tiered mortuary temple sits majestically like a castle complex in the limestone rocks and while much of the carvings and statues have been destroyed (or stolen), the vision of Queen Hatshepsut shows the disguising of herself as a man, which is why you will still see images of the typical Pharaoh figure.
The restoration that you see is down to the work of the Polish Academy of Sciences, who have painstakingly reconstructed three levels of the temple.

Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple
Karnak Temple was once the centre of all religious life in Egypt and the largest religious structure ever constructed – built and extended by generations of Pharoahs for over 1,500 years. This house of the gods is Luxor's grandest temple and is a site so large that it requires a few hours to stroll the columned corridors of the temples and maze-like chapel side rooms. It is split into separate temple sections such as The Temple of Ptah and The Temple of Mut. Most notable of them all is The Great Temple of Amun – the main area marked with the mighty passageway of the Hypostyle Hall, comprised of 134 towering sandstone columns in 16 rows.
Karnak Temple in Luxor is one of my top three best sites to visit in Egypt. Dedicate a few hours to explore

Get lost amongst the 134 sandstone columns in 16 rows at Karnak Temple in Luxor
Luxor Temple may look small, but like many others in Egypt, it is big on details and design layers. Most notably in that Ancient Egyptian, Coptic Christianity and Islamic architecture are intertwined throughout the temple showing its evolution to worship over the thousands of years since it was constructed in 1390BC. Some parts of the temple were built by Amenhotep II, Tutankhamun and Rameses II.
The splendour of the Luxor Temple site in Egypt
We visited the Temple of Luxor after a morning visit to Karnak Temple to better picture how the recently uncovered two-mile Sphinx Alley connected the two temples. This Alley is currently being uncovered in its entirety – a restoration that will bring back the original pathway to these two sits of worship.

Syd Hoff (September 4, 1912 – May 12, 2004) was an American cartoonist and children's book author, best known for his classic early reader Danny and the Dinosaur. His cartoons appeared in a multitude of genres, including advertising commissions for such companies as Eveready Batteries, Jell-O, OK Used Cars, S.O.S Pads, Rambler, Ralston Cereal, and more.

Biography
Hoff was born in Bronx, New York.  While he was still at high school, Milt Gross, a popular 1930s cartoonist, told him at an assembly, "Kid, someday you'll be a great cartoonist!" At 16, he enrolled at the National Academy of Design in New York City. At 18, he sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker, and eventually sold a total of 571 of them to the publication from 1931 to 1975. Hoff became known for his cartoons in The New Yorker depicting tenements and lower-middle class life in the city.

His cartoons have appeared in a variety of publications including the New Yorker, Esquire, and Look magazine. He was also the host of a television show Tales of Hoff, in which he drew and told stories.

Hoff wrote and illustrated over 60 volumes in the HarperCollins "I Can Read" series for beginning readers, most notably Sammy the Seal and the popular Danny and the Dinosaur (1958), which sold 10 million copies and has been translated into a dozen languages.

In 1976, Hoff edited and published Editorial and Political Cartooning:  From Earlier Times to the Present, which contains over 700 examples of works from the world's editorial and political cartoons.

Syndicated comic strips
Hoff drew two long-running syndicated comic strips: Tuffy (1939–1949) and Laugh It Off (1958–1978). One of his recurring characters is a walrus-mustached man who eventually appeared as the father in his daily Tuffy, done for the King Features Syndicate from 1939 to 1950.

Tuffy was originally commissioned by William Randolph Hearst in 1938, and was declared "essential for national morale" during the American involvement in World War II. This classification kept Hoff out of active military duty during World War II, although he joined the Office of War Information and drew propaganda cartoons which were dropped behind enemy lines.

Political cartoons as A. Redfield
Starting in 1933, Hoff began to contribute cartoons to leftist newspapers and magazines, including The Daily Worker and New Masses as A. Redfield, the pseudonym that he adopted for his radical work. Hoff's first published book The Ruling Clawss (Daily Worker, 1935) collects over 150 Hoff cartoons originally published in the Communist daily, and his first book for children Mr. His: A Children's Story for Anybody was published as a pamphlet by (and also within the pages of) New Masses magazine.

Hoff's output under the A. Redfield pseudonym began to taper off by 1940, though he remained politically active. He was questioned by the FBI in 1952 about his A. Redfield work and Communist Party association, after being photographed with Marxist civil liberties advocate Corliss Lamont at a protest against the atomic bomb the previous year. Hoff was never formally charged, nor blacklisted. Nevertheless, he remained concerned for the remainder of his life about being identified as a "Red" and the impact that this might have on the reception of his children's books.

What Was the Prelude to the Battle of Isandlwana?
Tristan Hughes
On 11 January 1879 the vanguard of Colonel Richard Glyn's No.3 Column crossed the Buffalo River into Zululand at Rorke's Drift, marking the start of the Anglo-Zulu War. The Column was part of Lord Chelmsford's main invasion force, launched under the pretext of countering Zulu 'aggression'.
Frederic Augustus Thesiger, 2nd Baron Chelmsford.
Chelmsford himself joined the Column on 12 January and took effective control. That same day his men met with some initial success, when they overwhelmed the small warbands of a local Zulu chieftain.
Despite being outnumbered these Zulus had chosen to resist the invaders. It was a symbol of things to come.
Chelmsford's plan centred around caution. Slowly, his army would drive the Zulus back, away from the Natal border and towards oNdini (Ulundi), the capital of the Zulu king Cetshwayo. It would be there that he believed the decisive clash would take place.
Chelmsford was confident in the plan and the invasion; he was convinced that the Zulus would avoid fighting a pitched battle against his technologically-superior force, until forced into one by his own aggressive movements.
Isandlwana
Logistical problems and repetitive, small skirmishes proved a nuisance for Chelmsford during the opening days of the invasion. By 16 January his progress from the Buffalo River had culminated at a peculiar-shaped hill 11 miles from the border. It was called Isandlwana.
A photo of Isandlwana Hill, taken in 1882.
Isandlwana Hill was sphinx-like in its appearance, leading the British troops of the 24th Regiment to believe this was an auspicious sign – the Sphinx was the official emblem of the Regiment. It was here, near the hill's steep slopes, that Chelmsford decided to make a new camp.
The uneven terrain surrounding the camp caused some immediate concerns among Chelmsford's adjutants. Furthermore, believing that the Zulus would avoid aggressive action the general had decided against either entrenching the camp or erecting a defensive laager (wagon fort). This was against standard procedure.
Several subordinates questioned these key decisions regarding the camp, but Chelmsford dismissed them. The historian Saul David notes,
Chelmsford did not take the necessary precautions because he did not think he needed to.
Saul David, Zulu (2004)

The Zulus respond
The British advance forced Cetshwayo to respond with force. On 17 January he gathered the main Zulu army at kwaNodwengu and readied them for battle. Zulu military tactics revolved around the fighting of short campaigns with decisive pitched battles. They favoured aggression.
Before his troops departed, Cetshwayo supposedly advised them how best to counter their foe:
If you come near to the white man and find that he has made trenches and built forts that are full of holes, do not attack him for it will be of no use. But if you see him out in the open you can attack him because you will be able to eat him up.
His words proved prophetic.
Zulu military tactics centred around short, aggressive and decisive campaigns, so that the militia could return to their homes in time to tend the harvest.
In the early morning of 21 January Lord Chelmsford had decided to dispatch a patrol force from Isandlwana, consisting of natives, Natal Military Police and mounted volunteers. Their task was to reconnoitre a rough track that led up to the Mangeni Falls, southeast of Isandlwana.

In command of the patrol was Major John Dartnell, a man who was very popular with the soldiers.
Dartnell lead the expedition out of the camp and it wasn't long before they encountered enemy activity. As they approached the Mangeni River, Dartnell spotted a sizeable Zulu force. Believing that he was not yet strong enough to counter the enemy force Dartnell decided that his patrol would keep a close eye on it throughout the night.
He sent a message to Chelmsford, informing him of the situation and his plan. Chelmsford received the message in early evening, replying that Dartnell should choose to engage the enemy, 'if and when he thought fit'.
Dartnell calls for aid
By the time that messenger reached Dartnell with the response, however, circumstances had changed. Dramatically so. By then the Zulu force Dartnell was monitoring had significantly increased, numbering some several thousand.
Hastily Dartnell had dispatched another courier to inform Chelmsford of the increase in activity, as well as a request for supplies. Chelmsford refused the former request, but did approve the latter, sending inadequate rations for Dartnell's force.

Zulu activity only continued to increase into the night; through the darkness, Dartnell's patrol spotted more and more enemy fires to the east. The commander's concerns continued to grow. No longer could he conceivably think about attacking his enemy the next morning – such an act would be suicidal without reinforcements.
Without delay, in the late evening of 21 January 1879, Dartnell sent a third messenger back to Isandlwana requesting Chelmsford march to his patrol's aid, particularly with his British infantry regulars.
The message reached the camp at c.1.30am on 22 January. Within the half-hour Chelmsford was awake and had ordered his men to make ready to march at daybreak.

Chelmsford would take most of the main Column with him. To guard Isandlwana, he would leave:
5 companies of the 1st Battalion of the 24th Regiment
1 company of 2/24th
3 companies of the 3rd Natal Native Contingent
2 artillery guns
1 squadron of mounted troops and some Natal Native Pioneers.
In total this numbered 1,241 soldiers: 891 Europeans and 350 Africans.

To reinforce the Isandlwana camp defence, Chelmsford sent an order to Colonel Anthony Durnford, currently stationed at Rorke's Drift, to march his contingent (526 men) to the camp and reinforce.
He left Colonel Henry Pulleine in charge with orders to hold the camp, though no-one expected it to be the site of a major battle:
Nobody from the General downwards had the least suspicion that there was a chance of the enemy attacking the camp.
Staff Officer Francis Clery
For all Chelmsford and his officers knew, it appeared Dartnell had discovered the main Zulu army. This was who Chelmsford intended to march out and confront. In fact it was quite the opposite.
Colonel Anthony William Durnford.
A distraction
The Zulu impi that had caused Dartnell so much concern was only a distraction, a detachment sent from the main Zulu army to lure the bulk of the British Column away from Isandlwana:
They kept fires burning all night to convince Dartnell that the main Zulu Army was near
At dawn on 22 January, Chelmsford led the majority of his Column out of the camp towards Dartnell's position. Little did he know that his actions were playing directly into his enemy's hands.
Chelmsford and his force reached Dartnell's position at 6.30am. Over the next few hours they pursued dispersing bands of Zulus further and further away from Pulleine and the garrison at Isandlwana. Throughout the day various reports reached them from the camp, hints that it was under attack.
Nevertheless Chelmsford remained convinced no serious danger threatened Isandlwana. By 2pm, still he remained unaware of the danger to his rear. For the British, it was a fatal mistake, for the Zulus, a triumph in tactical planning.

Masks Cut Covid Risk In Half, New Study Shows
Donning a face mask more than halves the risk of getting Covid, according to a review of eight studies published in the British Medical Journal.
As Covid-19 makes a comeback in Europe, one study offers a reminder that simple measures like mask-wearing and hand-washing help to ward off the disease.
Donning a face mask more than halves the risk of getting Covid, according to a review of eight studies published in the British Medical Journal. So does hand-washing. Physical distancing, meantime, cuts the risk by a quarter.
The findings come amid evidence that vaccination efforts weren't enough to prevent a resurgence as temperatures drop and people crowd indoors, forcing countries including Austria and the Netherlands to introduce curbs.
"It is likely that further control of the Covid-19 pandemic depends not only on high vaccination coverage and its effectiveness but also on ongoing adherence to effective and sustainable public-health measures," authors including Stella Talic, the study's lead researcher and an epidemiologist at Monash University in Melbourne, said in the paper.
The scientists struggled to evaluate the public-health measures and said they couldn't assess other efforts such as quarantines, lockdowns and school closures because studies were too disparate. They called for more research, saying their findings were limited by a lack of reliable and comparable data.
An accompanying editorial in the BMJ said funding on public-health measures accounts for just 4% of global Covid research.
"Considering the central importance of public health and social measures for pandemic control, the uncertainties and controversies around their effects, and the immense research effort being put into vaccine and drug development, this lack of investment in public health measures is puzzling," Paul Glasziou, the director of the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare at Australia's Bond University, wrote in the editorial with scientists from the UK and Norway.
Glasziou and his colleagues also sought to explain the researchers' hand-washing finding -- a surprising conclusion considering coronavirus transmission in mostly airborne. The results may reflect how people who wash hands frequently tend to take other steps as well.
"It is likely that hand-washing is a marker for several protective behaviors such as avoiding crowds, distancing, and mask wearing," they said.

Sure they do. Put a mask on and take a drag on a cigarette and then blow the smoke out. If it comes through the mask the virus will go in the mask as it is smaller than smoke particals. So take this BS story somewhere else

Russia Brings New Charges Against Kremlin Critic Browder
Europe Latest Stories World
Russian prosecutors on Monday announced a new criminal case against Kremlin critic Bill Browder, raising the pressure on him before European Union discussions about a set of sanctions he is advocating.
They also revealed a "theory" that he could be behind the death of his employee, Sergei Magnitsky, in a Russian prison.
Magnitsky, a lawyer who alleged he had uncovered $230 million in tax fraud by Russian officials, died in 2009 following a year in pre-trial detention. A Russian presidential commission concluded that he had been beaten and denied medical care. Two prison doctors were charged with negligence leading to his death, but one was acquitted by a court in 2013 and the other didn't face justice because of a statute of limitations.
U.S.-born Browder, who owned a major investment fund in Russia, has mounted a campaign to bring Magnitsky's killers to justice. He pushed through legislation, named after Magnitsky, in the United States imposing travel and financial sanctions on top Russian officials, including prosecutors. Several other countries have since adopted the Magnitsky Act.
Russian prosecutors on Monday announced new charges against Browder, accusing him of forming a criminal group to embezzle funds in Russia. They also said they suspect Magnitsky's death in prison was a poisoning and said they have a "theory" that Browder was behind it.
Mikhail Alexandrov of the Prosecutor General's Office told reporters that they opened a criminal case into the poisoning with a military-grade substance of three people they called Browder's associates and said that it is "highly likely" that Magnitsky, who they said displayed similar symptoms, was poisoned as well.
The prosecutors said that they decided to pursue the new charges against Browder after reviewing evidence submitted by Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer who met Donald Trump Jr. during the 2016 presidential campaign and who lobbied for the repeal of the Magnitsky Act.
Emails later released by Trump Jr. show that she had been described as a "Russian government attorney" President Donald Trump acknowledged in August that the meeting at the Trump Tower was supposed to "get information" on Hillary Clinton.
The new charges against Browder follow his 2013 conviction in absentia by a Moscow court on tax evasion charges that he dismissed as a sham.
Pan-EU Magnitsky Act
The announcement comes as the Netherlands is preparing to host diplomats from all EU member states to discuss a pan-EU Magnitsky Act.
Browder told The Associated Press on Monday that he has no relation to the three men named by the prosecutors and described the accusations of poisoning as an attempt to discredit his campaign for justice for Magnitsky.
President Vladimir Putin's "reaction is so absurd that it only helps our campaign and our cause," he said.
Browder compared the new theory about Magnitsky's death to the Russian denials of its role in the 2014 downing of Malaysia Air flight MH17 over Ukraine that killed all on board.
Prosecutors said Monday that they will now be placing Browder on a wanted list and they expect Interpol's cooperation.
Russia has previously tried to get Browder placed on Interpol's wanted list, but the organization has repelled the efforts, viewing his prosecution as politically motivated.
Browder was briefly detained in Spain in May but released after police found that the arrest warrant for him was no longer valid.
Monday's announcement comes two days before Interpol is expected to elect its new chief, and a former Russian police official is a front-runner.
Browder said that possible appointment "puts the organization in a grave danger of being fully discredited."
Other Kremlin critics have been vocal about the upcoming Interpol election.
Opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who has faced a flurry of detentions and criminal charges, tweeted Monday that his associates "have suffered abuse" from Interpol officials who were complying with Russian warrants to persecute Kremlin opponents, and warned that the candidate from Russia would only make things worse.
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on Monday that the Kremlin is "rooting for the Russian candidate and we would like the Russian candidate to win this election."
Asked about the upcoming vote at Interpol in connection with the Browder case, Prosecutor General's Office spokesman Alexander Kurennoy told reporters that Moscow views the organization as "trusted partners" and expressed hope that "the procedures will be followed in a regular manner" when it submits an arrest warrant for Browder.

The cutaneous mastocytosis treatment has witnessed notable proliferation in recent time, owing to the growing demand for treatment of diverse rare diseases. As per the Persistence Market Research (PMR) analysis, the global cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market is anticipated to value US$ 300 Mn by the end of forecast period 2018-2026. The report opines that the cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market will witness steady growth during the assessment period, with numerous advocacy groups creating awareness about this rare disease.
As per the study, several non-profit organizations and government organizations have taken initiatives to grow awareness about cutaneous mastocytosis in last decade. Such initiatives have driven the diagnosis rate of cutaneous mastocytosis substantially. The rapidly accelerating diagnosis and treatment-seeking rate of rare diseases, such as cutaneous mastocytosis, will underpin growth in cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market. Moreover, the burgeoning awareness about the symptoms of cutaneous mastocytosis will bring traction to the market.
The study is of the opinion that the cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market is highly fragmented, with a monopoly of large pharma companies that have diverse product portfolios. The stakeholders in cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market are increasingly taking initiatives to develop novel treatment options targeting cutaneous mastocytosis, which has no cure as of now.
According to the Fact.MR study, numerous manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry have taken efforts to evaluate effectiveness of diverse molecules adopted for cutaneous mastocytosis treatment. Whereas, some companies are awaiting regulatory approvals to commence clinical trials of cutaneous mastocytosis treatment drugs. For instance, in November 2018, GT Biopharma obtained the approval of the FDA for human phase study of GTB-3550 for treating mastocytosis.
The study opines that pharmaceutical companies are increasingly investing in R&D of rare diseases, such as cutaneous mastocytosis for managing such conditions in a better way. These growing R&D activities in tandem with high government funding are anticipated to pave way for enhanced treatment options for rare diseases in coming years. As per the study, this growing trend has the potential to drive growth in cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market.
Several countries, including the United Kingdom has close to 100% reimbursement for specific cases of rare diseases. Moreover, the National Health Service (NHS) of the U.K. is undergoing considerable reforms for further improvements. The study opines that a favorable reimbursement scenario for treatment of rare diseases has the potential to fuel growth in cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market.
As per the study, North America cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market will remain highly lucrative during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rapid shift in demand for cutaneous mastocytosis treatment in developed economies that have a progressive healthcare sector and reimbursement scenario for high costing drugs.
Some of the leading players operating in the cutaneous mastocytosis treatment market are Novartis AG, Kaleo Inc., Merck & Co. Inc., Sanofi S.A., Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer Inc., EPI Health, LLC, Bayer AG, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Bausch Health Companies Inc., and Mylan NV.

Our Lady of Apparitions
March 2: Our Lady of Apparitions, Madrid, Spain (1449)
The Abbot Orsini wrote: "Our Lady of Apparitions, at Madrid, so called because, in the year 1449, the Blessed Virgin appeared during eight following days to a young woman named Yves, and ordered her to build a church in her honor, on the spot where she should find a cross planted to Our Lady."
Cubas de la Sagra is a municipality in Spain in the province and autonomous community of Madrid. The approved apparitions of Our Lady in 1449 that occurred there are now almost inexplicably unknown, barely mentioned in passing, or treated as a legend in some books if even recognized as a point on some ancient map. It is true that the hosts of Napoleon looted and destroyed the sanctuary and monastery built there, and that the war in 1936 did not leave one stone upon another, but the memory of what happened there in 1449 must not be forgotten, at least by Catholics.
In the year 1449, Cubas was only a village with a simple church dedicated to Saint Andrew. The population of Cubas, however, lived quite forgetful of their duties to God, and their sins were so many that it seemed even to them that the hand of God must be hovering over the land, ready to punish them.
The Chronicles speak then of a young girl of 12 named Ines, (sometimes Yves or Agnes) who was but of humble birth. Still, there was something about her that made her different from other girls her age. She fasted, confessed regularly, and prayed daily the 15 mysteries of the Rosary. Perhaps her deep faith and religiosity may explain what happened next.
On Monday, March 3rd, 1449, Ines was tending pigs on the outskirts of town in a place called Cecilia, when at noon a woman appeared, a lady bright and beautiful dressed in cloth of gold. She was surrounded by light, and asked Ines what she was doing there. Ines stated that she was tending the pigs. The Lady then said that the people were no longer keeping the fasts, and told Ines the necessity of fasting. The lady said that the people of Cubas must change their ways, confess, and cease their debauchery and offenses against God, or He would soon punish them. There would be a great pestilence that would come upon them from which many would die. Perhaps knowing the hardheartedness of the people, Ines asked if she, too, or her mother and father, would die of this pestilence. She was told only that it would be as God desired. The lady then disappeared.
At first Ines did not tell anyone of the incident, for she thought no one would believe what had happened.
On Tuesday, March 4th, Ines was again tending the pigs, this time near the stream of Torrejon. At about the same time of day, at noon, just as the day before, the Lady reappeared. She asked Ines if she had told the people what she had been told to say, but Ines answered that she dared not to, for she suspected that she would not be believed. The Lady then commanded Ines to warn the people, and that if they did not believe, she would give her a sign. Ines asked the Lady who she was, but she said she would not tell yet before once again disappearing. Finally Ines decided to tell her father, Alfonso Martinez, who did not give any importance to the events recounted by his daughter, but thought it a children's story, a story invented in the imagination of a young girl. He told Ines to be quiet when she tried to tell anyone about the warning.
On Friday, March 7th, Ines was keeping the pigs in New Prado, when the Lady reappeared again as before. She asked Ines if she had told what she had been commanded to say. Ines answered that she had told her mother and father, and many others. The Lady told Ines to publish what she had said to all the people without any fear or trepidation.
When Ines went home at the end of the day she told her parents what had happened. Her father told her she was lying and to "shut up," but her mother encouraged Ines, saying, "Well, still, say it."
By Sunday, March 9th, word had spread. A priest, Juan Gonzalez, with some other men, when to Ines' home and talked to her parents. Afterwards, the priest went to say Mass. Ines went out with the pigs, accompanied by her brother John, to a place called The Ciroleda. Ines' father left them and went to Mass. The Ciroleda was a watery meadow that the pigs liked. Ines left her brother after a time looking for one of the pigs that had slipped away, and soon lost sight of her brother. All by herself, she knelt on the soft earth, asking the lady to return, even though she was afraid.
The Lady appeared again as before, telling Ines to rise. "Lady, who are you?" Ines asked. "I am the Virgin Mary," the lady answered, and approaching Ines, took her right hand and squeezed her fingers and thumb together, making some kind of a sign. She then told Ines to go to the church and show the sign to the people as they left Mass. Ines told her brother to watch after the pigs, and went to the church, arriving just as Mass was letting out. She was crying, and went to kneel before the altar of Mary. There, she told everyone what had happened.
I cannot decipher what the sign was in Ines' hand, but whatever it was, the people examined her hand and many believed. The following day the priest led the notables of the town and the faithful in a procession to the place of the last apparitions, carrying a wooden cross. When they arrived, Ines walked forward alone with the cross. The Virgin Mary herself took the cross, telling Ines to have a church built there in her honor.
The cross was permanently placed where the Virgin, Our Lady of Apparitions, had been last seen, and many miracles occurred there, including 11 people who were brought back to life. A church was begun shortly after the apparitions of the Virgin were approved. It stood for nearly five centuries, when it was destroyed in the 1936 fire, caused during the Civil War. Many of the nuns were martyred. In 1949 the reconstruction was completed in part by the Regiones Devastadas, who placed the current cross in the same place where the first had been.
According to tradition, Ines ended her life in the monastery of Santa Maria de la Cruz after having children and being widowed. It is said that anyone who goes to visit the place, with faith, receives special graces, and that miracles still occur there.

Featherweight world champion says he will be too smart for Carl Frampton
Nick Pitt
Planning ahead: Josh Warrington is looking to a busy career after he quits the ringLORNE CAMPBELL
First thing, every morning, Josh Warrington encounters his opponent, Carl Frampton. His image, from the official fight poster, is on his fridge door.

I have been painting now for over forty years, having graduated from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art in the 1970s. After Art School I attended Teachers College in Christchurch and then taught as a relief art teacher at The Taieri High School. I then worked as a graphic artist for three years at DNTV One. After that I worked as curator of collections at the Otago Settlers Museum where I remained for 18 years.
My work is inspired by the land and seascape and it is more the spirit of the place, time and memory that I try to capture rather than the precision of an actual image. The coastline has always mesmerised me, along with the power of climatic changes, light, colour and texture.

Abstract. The water-soluble fractions of aerosol filter samples and cloud water collected during the Whistler Aerosol and Cloud Study (WACS 2010) were analyzed using an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). This is the first study to report AMS organic spectra of re-aerosolized cloud water, and to make direct comparison between the AMS spectra of cloud water and aerosol samples collected at the same location. In general, the mass spectra of aerosol were very similar to those of less volatile cloud organics. By using a photochemical reactor to oxidize both aerosol filter extracts and cloud water, we find evidence that fragmentation of water-soluble organics in aerosol increases their volatility during photochemical oxidation. By contrast, enhancement of AMS-measurable organic mass by up to 30% was observed during the initial stage of oxidation of cloud water organics, which was followed by a decline at the later stages of oxidation. These observations are in support of the general hypothesis that cloud water oxidation is a viable route for SOA formation. In particular, we propose that additional SOA material was produced by functionalizing dissolved organics via OH oxidation, where these dissolved organics are sufficiently volatile that they are not usually part of the aerosol. This work demonstrates that water-soluble organic compounds of intermediate volatility (IVOC), such as cis-pinonic acid, produced via gas-phase oxidation of monoterpenes, can be important aqueous-phase SOA precursors in a biogenic-rich environment.

No. 2 Nebraska wrestling falls short in Big Ten opener at No. 8 Wisconsin
Marko Jerkovic
On Sunday the No. 2 Nebraska Huskers were back in action for the first time since their 32-3 win over No. 24 Oregon State on Dec. 20. In Sunday's away match at Wisconsin, Nebraska fell to the No. 8 Badgers 25-18. It was the Huskers' first dual loss of the season and their first Big Ten matchup of the season.
In the 157-pound weight class, No. 11 redshirt freshman Peyton Robb scored the first points of the dual for the Huskers and defeated Wisconsin redshirt freshman Drew Scharenbrock by tech fall 19-2, including a total of 11 near-fall points, as well as three takedowns and a reversal.
In the 174-pound weight class, No. 6 sophomore Mikey Labriola defeated freshman Jared Krattiger by a decision of 9-3, including three takedowns and an escape.
In the 184-pound weight class, No. 5 junior Taylor Venz defeated freshman Tyler Dow by tech fall 17-1, with 10 of his 17 points coming in a near-perfect first period.
In the 197-pound weight class, No. 14 junior Eric Schultz defeated Wisconsin's Taylor Watkins by tech fall 24-8, including 10 takedowns in a complete domination. Schultz's victory was the Huskers' fourth and final win of the dual, which is a season-low in dual competition.
Two All-Americans suffered losses for the Huskers, with the first being No. 6 junior Chad Red Jr.'s loss to senior Tristan Moran of Wisconsin by a decision of 9-4. Meanwhile, in the 165-pound weight class, No. 3 senior Isaiah White was defeated by Wisconsin's Evan Wick by a decision of 10-6.
The Huskers will look to bounce back from their first dual loss and conference loss of the season when they visit the Iowa Hawkeyes on Jan. 18.

If it is not worth it to you then don't get it. Simple.
William of Occam approves of this post.
Thanks. I'd like his take on the "two loads" question too as long as we are getting free expert legal advice! Quick googling I can't find anything similar to see if there is any case law on similar code. I guess on the side of caution that means one reload even on revolver.
I will send you a PM with his email.
ETA-I reread the rule on ammunition and it refers to pistol, so according to most definitions, a revolver and a pistol are not the same thing.
Still deciding on that, and this thread has been helpful in clearing some things up. Right now, I'm leaning towards not getting the DC permit while I'm living in MD and carrying once or twice a month in VA. The utility of the permit may not be worth the hassle. However, if MD ever gets forced by the courts to go shall issue, or more likely, I move to NOVA (depending upon how my next round of job applications go, I'll hopefully be moving to NOVA or York PA at the end of this school year), I'll probably get it since I'll be near DC with a gun on me far more often than is the case now. Also, if I move to NOVA (or Montgomery County) I'll probably spend more time in DC deliberately and it might become worthwhile to have for when I plan to be in DC.
I think a revolver is counted as a pistol. Many people call revolvers pistols (I usually call the two main types autos and revolvers, but to me, any handgun is a pistol), and they fit the historic definition of a pistol (a gun that can be held with one hand), though they do not seem to fit the ATF's definition. So, it may be a slightly gray area to carry a revolver instead of an autopistol (to use a rather antiquated term for them), but will probably be OK. The law you quote with the single reload limit is more concerning for me. I usually only carry one reload, especially when carrying 20 or more rounds with the one mag in the gun and one reload, though now that I'm back to carrying variations on the 1911 I've been thinking about a third reload (the single stack means it isn't too bulky unlike carrying two 15 round 40S&W M&P mags, and they don't carry as many rounds to begin with). Even if I never do carry more than one reload, I still don't like that limit, it seems awfully arbitrary and unnecessary (though that is true of most DC and MD gun laws).
Upon further inspection of the section you quote, I don't think that would limit you to only an autopistol even if they were going by the ATF definition of a pistol that seems to exclude revolvers. In that case, it seems that it would exempt revolvers from the 1 reload/20 round limit. Though, they may limit you to autopistols elsewhere in the law if they do follow the definitions of pistol that do not include revolvers.
I disagree The definition from US Code 18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(29) and 27 CFR § 478.11 does indeed separate pistols and revolvers. A court would ask the same question. What is a pistol? Not a revolver by definition.
A pistol is a handgun but not all handguns are pistols. A revolver does not meet the definition of pistol.
So IMO and IANAL a revolver would be exempt from the reg as its NOT a pistol by definition. I have to assume DC would have been aware of the difference when the reg was promulgated. And because the reg does not address them by name, IMO they are exempt from the ammo limit and the reload limit.
But as always IANAL. JMO.
Not that it is a hill of beans for this permit (maybe it does though) LEOSA has your carry firearm listed as either a PISTOL, a REVOLVER or BOTH.
If you want to carry a semi, you qualify with your PISTOL. If you want to carry a revolver, you qual with your REVOLVER. If you want to be able to carry either, you have to qual with BOTH.

Q: Azure Application Gateway backend hostname matching errors Application gateway gives me an error:
'Backend health': 'The Common Name (CN) of the backend certificate does not match the host header of the probe.' for both backend instances.
But if I try to access scale set instances directly, the certificate is valid:
https://apitestss000000.mycorp.local/
and
https://apitestss000001.mycorp.local/
look fine and valid in browser
HTTP setting is set to 'Pick hostname from backend target.' If I set it to 'Override with specific domain name' and type in one of the hostnames like 'apitestss000001.mycorp.local', there is no error for this host, but still error for the other. Looks like 'Pick hostname from backend target' picks the wrong hostname from the scale set.

A: It sounds like you self-signed your certificates.  That will be problematic for anything not on your domain/using your Enterprise CA and PKI setup, which includes Azure health probes.  You'll either need to upload the public root cert in the Azure portal, or get certificates signed by a 3rd party CA that Microsoft probes trust.

A: I had the same issue where I only updated the certificate on the WAG and when the cert expired I got this error. Then I researched and found that when cert update is needed it needs to be updated in the WAG as well as the web servers. Same cert updated in the web servers, problem resolved.
