19th century vintage photograph: Bichari, Bishari desert guides - used to guide camel caravans or trains from Korosko to Khartoum. Korosko was a settlement on the Nile River in Egyptian Nubia. It was located 118 miles (190 km) south of Aswan and served as the point of departure for caravans avoiding the Dongola bend in the river by striking out directly across the desert to Abu Hamad and thereby bypassing the second, third and fourth cataracts of the Nile.
All images are taken from high resolution scans of original prints. The majority of our images are mid to late 19th century. Any specified date is purely as a guide to facilitate searches.
