This is a geat reference with diagrams and pictures. There are also self-guided tours available. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Egypt.
We went to Cairo and Hurghada and especially in cairo this guide was extremely helpful. We tried a lot of the recommended restaurants, they were great and not crowded with tourists.I would buy it again!
I'm a big fan of the DK Top 10 series for books. Since they have a relatively narrow focus, it can be beneficial if you've got a small period of time in a small space. However, Cairo and the rest of Egypt is deserving of a large book since there's lots to see.It's not to say that this book is bad: It'll give you the top 10 things to see in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel - but odds are you're going to see them anyway if you're doing a packaged tour.I like this book, but I can't really recommend it. You're better off buying the Lonely Planet Discover Egypt (Full Color Country Travel Guide) for a little bit more.
This is the fourth tour book I have read on Egypt and by far the best. I highly recommend reading this before other Egyptian tour books. The recommendations made throughout the guide should be noted and highly considered.
I have a lot f Eyewitness travel guides but this was my first "Top 10" book. I definitely prefer other Eyewitness travel guides since I found these "Top 10" guides lack a lot of important information. I still recommend it for those who will travel just a few days to Cairo
Spent some time in Egypt last month and found the Top 10 book to be very helpful. This book was by far the most used and referenced throughout the trip. Clear and concise and easy to follow! Can't ask for much more. Definitely recommend this book ... thumbs up! :)
Just what we needed to plan our grand trip down the Nile, being sure we hit the most remarkable sites. Great travel companion!
The chaos of Egypt can take away form the incredible historical importance of this palce. The guide provides tips and gives you great insight into the treasures that are in Egypt
