Wonderful book. Lots of graphics and history. I will be using this book when I go to Egypt next Spring.

I've been to Egypt twice before, and on my third trip I decided to bring this guide with me, and am I ever glad I did. Though I am quite familiar with the bigger sites, the maps in this book are not to be outdone, and I was impressed by the list of smaller sites I had never considered visiting before.

This book is absolutely wonderful. The maps, historical descriptions, diagrams...everything. It's just a high-quality book all the way around.
You don't have to be on your way to Egypt to enjoy this book. Just read it to learn about the country and the archaeological sites.
I checked this out from the library, but now that I have read it, I want to buy it. I actually own the DK guide to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, and that book is laid out in a similar fashion. I have not read it yet, but now, having read this one, I know I am going to enjoy it greatly when I get around to it.

As a future traveler to Egypt, any information about traveling there is appreciated. With Eyewitness Travel Egypt, almost every topic I need to know is there. This book discusses the history, the various districts in Cairo, the pyramids, the cruises, hotels, beaches, and facts that you might need to know, but don't know to ask.
The detail is remarkable. The best section that I found for practicality was the 'Survival Guide'. As westerners we assume way too much, so this bit was very welcome.

This is a great first book to begin an understanding of Egypt before travel. It covers all major areas in extensive detail; provides suggestions for the best places to visit while in the country; detail pictures of what to look for at various sites;and the last section on travel tips I found invaluable. It is current (2008 ed) and I especially like the size of the book, which can be tucked into a carry-on bag or a back-pack while touring and doesn't weigh a ton. "Don't leave home without it!"
