Abu Simbel, one of Egypt's top tourist attractions, built by Ramesses II in the 13th century BC.

Mehmet Ali (1769-1849) meeting with a group of Europeans including the British Consul Major-General Patrick Campbell (1779–1857), Lieut. Waghorn and Roberts himself.

The following year (1840) the British Navy blockaded the Nile Delta, forcing Mehmet Ali to accept a compromise, in which he was given hereditary rule of Egypt as an Ottoman viceroy.
