Maher Ishak is the owner and manager of Woodbury Pharmacy in New York. He previously worked as a staff pharmacist and resided in Egypt for some time overseeing various apothecaries. Egypt is best visited between September and April when temperatures are cooler, though travelers should still bring long-sleeved tops, jackets, and long pants for evenings. In February and October, visitors can attend the Sun Festival at Abu Simbel to see the sun's rays illuminate King Ramses II's temple.
