‘The Path to A’aru’
A. A. Aziz
A’aru –‘The Field of Reeds’ – Papyrus of Ani, c1250 BC
“The Old Luxor Hotel is now neglected and all but forgotten. The days
when the elite and famous stayed here are long gone. Its only guests
today are the cockroaches and rats which occupy its rooms. Its once
beautiful gardens are overgrown and filled with broken furniture. Its tall
palm trees only give shade to the tacky stalls and a sad café; which in the
past gave respite to those most in need, before they found eternal life in
the field of reeds”
