Please suggest a good Travel Guide book for Egypt?
July 13, 2009 - 3:25 pm
I am planning to visit Egypt sometime in September, maybe for a week or so. I would like to purchase a good travel guide book so I can do a little reading and know what places I want to visit on my trip.
I have looked up Amazon.com but have come across books with both +ve and -ve reviews and am confused. I dont want an expensive book.
I always use the Lonely Planet Guides….they are pocket size , comprehensive & up to date !

Hi it sound as if your a sightseer not a Beach person,there are books at your travel agent which will show you all the sites you can visit. From Cairo [museum,pyramids spinx ] To luxor with its temple,temple of light,over the nile to valley of the kings tombs more temple,and up to the aswan dam and more ancient ruins. Good Holidaying John
