.Egypt (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Egypt
by: Matthew Firestone, Rafael Wlodarski, Anthony Sattin

May 01, 2008
We've just come back from honeymoon and used this book when we visited Cairo and particularly the incredible museum... the descriptions are spot on and the book guides you thru' room by room. Our tour guide was saying practically the same things as the book, so its all you need!

Dress codes for women in Cairo aren't as strict as the book makes it out to be, there were loads of girls with string tops and shorts, so long skirts and long sleeved shirts aren't necessarily a must!! Other than that, pretty accurate about local customs and traditions.

.Travel Egypt Nile Cruise
City Travel Guides > Books > Egypt
by: Janet Wood

February 08, 2006
I used the book in Egypt and found it an invaluable guide for any first-time traveller who is booked on a Nile Cruise. I found the information accurate and up-to-date and it saved me a lot of hassle. The author explains things in an easy to understand way and offers many helpful tips, especially with regarding to dealing with the more persistent Egyptians that work the tourist areas. And believe me I encountered more than my fair share of them! However as this is a specialised book, dealing specifically with a Nile Cruise I would suggest you use it in conjunction with one of the more general Egyptian travel guides such as Lonely Planet or the Rough Guide. Overall I found it an excellent book that was easily carried around in my bag and definitely ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to Egypt (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Egypt
by: Dan Richardson

August 02, 2007
Whenever I am going on holiday, one of the most exciting things for me is buying the rough guide before we go. On the rare occasion that I haven't done this i've felt I've gone into things blind and not taken the best choices in terms of trips etc.

This rough guide did prove invaluable on our trip to Sharm el Sheik and a day trip to Cairo, however the one thing I would question, and I find this is generally the case with Rough Guides, is that the prices quoted for meals and, in this case especially, taxis is often way out. We travelled only a month after this book was published, so I would expect it to be much more up to date than it was.

The info on Sharm was pretty basic for our needs (it focuses a lot on diving, which we ... Read More:
