15 of the contestants visited
Egypt a few months later, to attend a festival by which the United Arab
Republic tried to attract world-wide attention on the problem to save the
temples of Abu Simbel from the rising Nile River. Here they are at the Sphinx.
Denmark is 3rd from left, Sweden is 6th, Norway 7th, Iceland
8th, Spain 10th & Finland 11th. The rest are not identified.
Originally, Misses Belgium, England, Holland & Luxembourg declined the
invitation to go to Egypt, but one of them apparently changed her mind.
