This is the best book you can buy with useful information about traveling in Egypt! This is not one of those book full of pictures with no information that you can actually use.I am getting ready to go to Egypt and of all the 5 books I bought, this is the best!
This helped us on our trip but make sure you get the most recent edition as things change very quick in that region.Was definately a trip of a lifetime...
Usually we swear by the Frommer's guides. This one, though, disappointed. We found some of the advice dated and inconsistent with our experience in Cairo.
I have used Frommers in the past, and overall I have thought the information was useful. However, this time I took a trip (to Egypt for 2 days) that was put together by a company, so my hotels/restaurants, etc were already taken care of. Thus, the nitty-gritty info that Frommers provided was not needed. In addition, the book just wasn't fun to read. I so much more enjoyed Fodor's Exploring Egypt and DK Eyewitness Travel guide to Egypt, as they both contained fun information and it was exciting to discover in graphics that were pleasing to the eye. Unless you're booking your own hotels and the like, I'd probably stay away from Frommers.
I didn't get a chance to start reading this book, but I plan to do so soon. Unfortunately, my plans to travel to this country changed because current events havedemonstrated that travelers could get arrested simply by being there.
I really thought this guide book was easy to read, and packed with worthwhile information. I'll let you know more when I return.
perfect help for my trip
This frommers guide was used when I went to Egypt in 2010. It was very helpful. Recommended for your trip. Don't miss traveling to Egypt you won't regret it. Take this guide with you.
