Beautiful photos, not very detailed January 29, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I received this book as a gift prior to a vacation in Egypt. Although it is laden with amazing National Geographic photos and some great background information, Lonely Planet does a much better job of actually guiding the reader through Egypt. LP has much more detailed hotel/restaurant/tour outfitter (ie snorkeling gear in the red sea, camel treks, felucca rentals) information and detailed maps. I'm glad my friends brough it along with them.
