Description

George Lambert visited Magdhaba while en route to Cairo in 1918: "We proceeded on camels to Magdhaba, along the bed of the Wadi El Arish, a distance of some twenty odd miles, arriving at sundown. The day following I completed a canvas, twenty-four by twenty, of the most picturesque view of Magdhaba, and the day following made two watercolour sketches."
