The Theban Mapping Project
http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/
The Theban Mapping Project is a splendid enterprise and a offers unrivalled information on the subject of the Valley of the Kings including an enormous number of photographs of the tombs, both modern and old. It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the New Kingdom necropolis.
John Bodsworth’s Egypt Archive
http://www.egyptarchive.co.uk/html/index.html
One of the most useful photographic resources for the pyramids of Ancient Egypt on the Internet, and its owner, Jon Bodsworth, not only has his contact details on the site but actually answers emails with helpful information :-). The main areas he has covered so far are Giza, Abusir, Dashur, Meidum, Abu Rawash and Saqqara, and he also has a section of photographs from different museums. He specialises on focusing on specific details rather than general views, which is particuarly useful.

Egypt: Western and Eastern Deserts (including Wadi Hammamat), Thebes and Giza
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~andie
This site is consists almost exclusively of photographs taken on a holiday to Egypt in 2002, and has a very large number of photographs of sites from the Old Kingdom to Coptic periods, some of which are not often seen on other web sites. It also has photos of the geomorphology of the Western Desert. To navigate the site you will need to look at the text on the home page which provides links to the sites (the side-bar menu is organised by days of the holiday, so is not of much use to anyone who was not on the holiday - it was designed for the others who were on the holiday). NB - it MUST be viewed from a broadband connection - the images take far too long to load on dial-up.
Prehistoric and Predynastic Images
www.predynastic.cd2.com
This site compliments the predynastic.com website and shows prehistoric and predynastic artefacts in British museum collections (The British Museum, The Petrie, and The Ashmolean). The photographs were taken with a small and inexpensive digital camera through glass cabinets, and are of variable quality, but provide a chronological virtual gallery of the early Egyptian past.
