What reading level is Egyptian Days book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Maxfield Parrish would delight in it.
The bit of desert in which these tombs lie runs along the whole eastern edge of the dty, narrowing as it nears the projecting foothill on which the Citadel is set, until it becomes a mere ribbon, and is finally lost in the sharp uprising of the Citadel road. Just to the east and along the whole distance tower the cliffs of the Mokhattam, marking the verge of the Arabian Desert proper. Their height and their proximity to the town long ago rendered the Citade...l quite worth- less as a fort ; for any artillery, however primitive, must from the superior cliffs make but short work of the ancient keep below, and would speedily lay in ruin the magnificent mosque of Mohammed Ali, de- priving Cairo of its most picturesque and conspicuous adornment. Naturally it is from the top of the Mok- hattam that one obtains the very best view of Cairo — and common consent decrees it the finest view in all Egypt.
By all means combine the visit to the Mokhattam with your second inspection of the Citadel, rather than with the jaunt to the outlying tombs of the Caliphs.
