Helouan is supposed to be
a healthy convalescent climate
but I’m hanged if i can see it
at all. I fancy it is all the same
all over Egypt, dry & cloudless
skies from weeks end to an-
other. One may stay here for
months at a time & never
experience a rainfall
Some of the mornings &
evenings are certainly very
cool & we feel the benefits
of it lounging about in
deckchairs shaded from
the sun by an impromptu
screen built by the natives
here at a very low
cost, yet there is really little
or no efficience work or material
attached to them. They are
made from light timber formed
into a framework with straw
mats tacked to form the
roof.
