.Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East from: DK Travel 2003-09 I bought this book for my tour of Egypt in October 2007. I bought it along on the trip with me. It provides a great overview of Egypt and even maps of what the major attractions look like. Fabulous photos too. >>See More Reviews & Details on Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides) |

.The Rough Guide to Egypt 6 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East by: Dan Richardson, Daniel Jacobs, Michael Kohn, Michael Ackroyd, Ros Ford December 19, 2005 This was an indispensable guide when I traveled to Cairo last year. The author gives quite an honest look at what to love about Egypt and what to really keep your distance from (I'm looking at you, scamming touts, in front of the Egyptian Museum!). This guide really prepares you for the trip and helps you experience more than what the typical tourist sees. I also used this guide when i took the train into Alexandria-- again very helpful, especially with cafe and restaurant recommendations. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Rough Guide to Egypt 6 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) |

.Cyprus (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE) City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East by: DK Publishing February 20, 2006 I own about 40 DK Eyewitness Travel Guides and usually take one on my travels to complement a more thoroughly written guidebook like Rough Guide or Lonely Planet. The photos are always excellent, providing a fine visual overview of places. DK Cyprus, though, was perhaps the least useful DK Travel Guide that I have ever used. The descriptions of places were drier than Cyprus' summer weather, and the photos added little to what was in the more compact, less expensive DK Top 10 Cyprus book. Carrying 4 guidebooks (DK, DK Top 10, Lonely Planet, and Rough Guide) for our travels throughout all regions of the island, I soon realized that I could have been perfectly happy if I had only carried Rough Guide and DK Top 10. >>See More Reviews & Details on Cyprus (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE) |

There he encounters fully brainwashed and sycophantic followers of the "Dear Leader."

.The Rosetta Stone and the Rebirth of Ancient Egypt (Wonders of the World) City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East by: John Ray July 27, 2007 I knew little about the Rosetta Stone other than what I had learned in school many years ago. Every schoolchild learns that the Rosetta Stone, found in 1799 along the Nile delta, had the same text in three different languages -- Egyptian hieroglyphics, Egyptian demotic (the language of the people), and Greek -- that allowed scholars to, for the first time, decipher Egyptian hierglyphics, thus making it possible to read all the already-found (and subsequently-found) hieroglyphic texts that up to that time had simply not been decipherable. This made possible, really, the study of ancient Egypt as never before, and indeed the whole field of Egyptology. John Ray, professor of Egyptology at Cambridge, writes a fascinating history of the Stone, its discovery, ...

.Knopf Guide: Morocco (Knopf Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Middle East by: Knopf Guides June 21, 1994 I've been to Morocco 3 times and am planning my next trip in Oct 2003 so I picked up my usual array of guidebooks. I always get LP's book and I picked this one up for the first time. Needless to say I will not buy it again. I wasn't looking for a history lesson of Morocco, I want to know new and different things to do in the cities and towns...I want suggestions for hotels, restaurants etc. I want to be a Tourist! This book just didn't do it for me. >>See More Reviews & Details on Knopf Guide: Morocco (Knopf Guides) |
