The Khamisin, or Kamseen, is dry, hot, sandy local wind affecting Egypt and the Levant, and it is the inspiration for author Jeanne Chabal dedicated these impressions of Egypt to Pierre Loti (French academician and travel writer), whom the author hails as "unmatched poet of the Orient, full of light and silence"
