Abstract
The study introduces writer and poetess Maria Stona on journey around Egypt in early 1913. She travelled as an individual tourist which in some cases resulted in troublesome situation for foreign woman without knowledge of Arabic language.
By happy coincidence, she met at least five Egyptologists and visited the fieldwork of renowned W. M.
Flinders Petrie at Tarkhan. Tree feuilletons, which lady Stona published in Viennese Neue Freie Presse with relatively big time interval 10-13 years from her journey around Egypt: Die Königsgräber in Theben (14th February 1923), Bilder aus Aegypten.
Kairo-Benihassan (14th August 1924) and Bei Professor Flinders Petrie. Ein Besuch in der Wüste (24th February 1926), refer to her experiences, observations and impressions in the land on Nile.
These newspaper articles reflect both Pharaonic and contemporary Egypt.
