Not a bad guide, decent overview of all the sites and also cultural aspects of Egypt. My major complaint is that the maps are terrible. There is only one actual map, and it is only of Cairo (East of the Nile). So if you're staying in Giza (Cairo west of the Nile) you are kind of out of luck. Additionally there are loads of restaurants listed, but if they don't happen to be in Cairo then they will be no map of the location. If you're considering eating out, or doing anthing without a guide then you will need an additional guide book.
 Wonderful!! November 12, 2008

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.
Next best thing to being there October 21, 2008

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.
