Daily Photo - Wadi Hammamat inscriptions

The Wadi Hammamat in Egypt's Eastern Desert leads from Qift in the west to Quseir in the east. It was a major thoroughfare to both stone quarries in the Wadi Hammamat area from the Predynastic period onwards, and for trading expeditions to the Red Sea coast and beyond during the Pharaonic and Graeco-Roman periods.
