Press photo dated 24 June 1939 with caption that reads: “SKI-ING THE EGYPTIAN SANDS. Cairo, Egypt — With the ancient pyramids instead of the lofty Alps serving as a back-ground, these ski enthusiasts enjoy their favorite sport recently on the sands of the desert, near Cairo. Camels supplied the motive power for the ski-joring jaunt in the land of the pharoahs.” Picture scanned from 18mm X 23mm original black and white silver gelatin print
