A Tourist Handbook for Egypt Outside of Egypt is a series of handbooks designed to guide tourists seeking to visit Egyptian sights across European cities. The second volume traces a route through central London, beginning with Britain’s defeat of Napoleon’s Egyptian conquest in 1802 and culminating in the occupation of Egypt in 1882.

The book contains collages that juxtapose photographs of London’s commemorative statues and imperial architecture with 19th-century paintings of correlating events in Egypt. Through their interplay with archival material, the book draws attention to the visual rhetoric of empire inscribed in public space. By questioning which Western historical narratives are commemorated, it further exposes the entangled relationship between Britain’s imperial expansion and the extractive practices that accompanied it, especially the removal of Egyptian antiquities.

Drawing on archival research and visual juxtaposition, it offers a critical reading of the imperial legacies that shape London’s urban landscape today.
