Cairo Research

A few more books I used in writing Husband of Convenience. These are mostly for reference, I needed details of what things looked like 200+ years ago.

Cairo Anthology: Two Hundred Years of Travel Writing by Deborah Manley

The Sahara: A Cultural History (Landscapes of the Imagination) by Eamonn Gearon

Here's a site on History of Cairo I found helpful. And, of course, Wikipedia's Eyalet of Egypt page, which was a kinda separate country attached to the Ottoman Empire. So not exactly a part of the empire, Egypt operated under its own rules and laws and leaders, but it paid tribute. This lasted from 1517 to 1867. An Eyalet means state in English.
