Autor

Andrew Humphreys's relationship with AUC stretches back to the late 1980s when he was often to be found behind a newspaper around the Fountain Court on the Tahrir Campus. He collaborated with AUC professor John Rodenbeck on the series of SPARE maps of Islamic Cairo. In 1996, he was the co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Cairo Times. He is the author of National Geographic Traveler Egypt (AUC Press, 2009), Grand Hotels of Egypt in the Golden Age of Travel (AUC Press, 2012), and On the Nile in the Golden Age of Travel (AUC Press, 2015).

Gadi Farfour was born and raised in Alexandria. She studied print design at the London College of Printing, and has subsequently worked as a magazine and book designer for Lonely Planet, Virgin Books, the Time Out Group, and Dorling Kindersley. For AUC Press she has designed Grand Hotels of Egypt in the Golden Age of Travel (2012), On the Nile in the Golden Age of Travel (2015), and Classic Egyptian Movies (2018).
