Australia and the Red Sea

7 galleries of digitized film slides covering Australia and the Red Sea region of Egypt
Overview
The following 7 galleries represent Mona Serageldin’s 35mm film slide collection from her travels in September 2000, as arranged in box M18: “Australia, Red Sea,” consisting of color images of those regions.
The collection documents the preservation and revitalization of historic districts and natural landscapes in Northern Territory, Australia and along the Red Sea coast of Egypt, from El Gouna to El Qoseir. The photographs support I2UD’s research in urban planning programs for historic districts, in particular for I2UD’s master plan on urban revitalization in El Qoseir from 2000. Images show urban streetscapes, new and old housing structures, and natural landscapes of rock structures and coastal environments.
Galleries 1-4 cover towns and landscapes in Northern Territory and Sydney, Australia.
Galleries 5-7 show historic urban fabric and coastal landscapes in the Red Sea region of Egypt.
