CAIRO: Egyptian police have detained a photographer for disrespect after he shot images of a dancer in ancient costume at the Pyramid of Djoser outside Cairo, a security source has confirmed.

Rumours had swirled on social media for days that the model, Salma al-Shimi, had been arrested after Monday’s shoot at the Saqqara necropolis, 30 kilometres south of Cairo.
