Of course, tourists who come to look at ancient monuments are one of the main sources of income for a poor country. In Saqqara, where the oldest pyramids are located, there are many restrictions and prohibitions, one of them was recently violated by a certain photographer.
The photographer, whose name is not reported, arranged a candid photo session with a buxom model near one of the oldest tombs — the pyramid of Djoser, which is more than 4,000 years old. The publication Egypt Independent said that the girl's name is Salma al-Shimi (Salma al-Shimi) and she is a famous dancer in North Africa.
Salma al-Shimi-a prominent girl
Both the photographer and al-Shimi were arrested, and the main culprit of the detention was the beauty. Perhaps no one would even know about the photo shoot, which took place with violations of the law and trampling on Islamic values, but the model published several pictures from Saqqara in your instagram account.
Sultry Salma al-Shimi boasts tens of thousands of followers, so the news of the photo shoot in the so-called "archaeological zone" quickly spread across the country. At first, scientists were outraged, calling the photography obscene, and then Islamic activists joined in.
From the point of view of a European or American, photos of a dancer can not be attributed to the erotic genre — the girl is wearing a tight-fitting short dress, stylized as the clothes of ancient Egyptians and covering everything that is needed. But do not forget that Egypt is an Islamic country, so its citizens have a slightly different idea of decency from ours.
Well, do not forget that Saqqara is still a burial place, although very ancient. The tourist police periodically fine tourists for appearing on the territory of the necropolis of the pharaohs in a drunken state or in excessively frank outfits, as well as for defiant and life-threatening behavior.
In the case of the photos in the mini-dress, Salma al-Shimi and her photographer did not have any mitigating circumstances, since both are Egyptian citizens and are well aware of the rules of behavior near the pyramids, which for many years belong to the treasures of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Now the scandalous photos have been removed from the girl's account, but they have already spread across the network and only in Instagram you can find at least 6 fake accounts of Salma with pictures at the pyramid of Djoser.
A year ago, the Egyptian public was outraged by the antics of Danish photographer Andreas Hvida, who had sex with his girlfriend at the top of the pyramid of Cheops and posted an intimate video online. Then the hooligans went unpunished.
