Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Primer on Egypt Comment: 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!"
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent guidebook Comment: I found in this book a well proportionned description about Egypt: essential informations about all periods of it's history. Texts and fotos complete each other.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The book I'll take with me Comment: The pictures and historical information are what made me decide to take this with me on my trip. I still like Lonely Planet, though, because they help you form a better plan for how you'll get around and the best route to take.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Egypt Comment: This is a great book for my upcoming trip to Egypt and Jordan. It has a lot of information and is loaded with plenty of color photographs. I only wish there was a book for Jordan too. The book also shows views of streets and locations of museums and all the sites not to miss in Egypt.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guide) Comment: Great guide! Well organized with wonderful photos, illustrations, & maps. Took it to Egypt with me. Still use it as a reference now that I'm home.
