Product Description

Book Description

Looking for a travel guide that dares to be honest?

Unlike the cruise booklet that most Tour Operators send out with your booking, our Cruise Guide book tells you how it really is!

Given from an experienced perspective that does not shy away from confronting the issues, it provides a valuable insight into what you can expect from a Nile Cruise by letting you know the scams, as well as the pleasures awaiting you on your Egyptian vacation.

Our Travel Egypt books offer straight answers, with sound and practical holiday advice. This book is illustrated throughout with over 50 black and white photographs and contains, amongst other things:

PRACTICAL ADVICE: Such as how to deal with hassle, unwanted attention, intimidation and illness. Plus, extra costs involved that you are rarely told about, local scams, bartering tips, things to avoid, etc.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Such as, medical advice, visa requirements, facts and figures, prices, boat facilities and layout, money matters, cruise schedules, safety issues, etc.
SUGGESTIONS: Such as, suitable clothing, useful Arabic phrases, local customs, local dishes and drinks etc.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Such as ancient sites, reviews, entertainment, extra excursions, useful links, free downloads etc.

This book is a unique guide to the 'events' of a Nile Cruise and whilst we do discuss the ancient sites in some detail it is only our book that deals with the topics we cover - namely 'telling you how it is'.

This guide has been specifically written to help people avoid the scams and hassle that could ruin their holiday.

The book tells you how it is, without over romanticising the experience, and contains information you would be hard pressed to find in one place.

A must read for anyone planning, or thinking of taking an Egyptian Nile Cruise.

5.0 out of 5 stars What if..., 27 Jul 2006

By	Steve "Steve" (UK) - See all my reviews

My girlfriend was intent on taking a trip to Egypt and I have to say that I panicked at the thought of going to a strange country. I was used to holidaying on Spanish islands and other mediterranean beaches so a trip to such an unknown quantity was needless to say a little daunting.

I hunted around (and purchased) many books about Egypt in an attempt to familiarise myself with the culture and the history and, had I not stumbled accross this litle gem of a book I find my self wondering what may have been!

Every book you find on the shelf tells you about the history, the places to visit and the culture in Egypt, however this book provides something more - something that I wasn't even aware that I needed in the first place.

Travel Egypt Nile Cruise is for today's tourist.

There is a good deal of information about the sights to see and Egyptian history (enough to keep anyone happy); however, this book really stands alone as the author covers a wide range of topics from bartering tricks and tips to sunstroke avoidance on those long tourist outings. Her no nonsense and whimisical approach kept me informed and entertained throughout. Some of the advice proved invaluable during our stay and I'm sure would prove just as invaluable to other 'First Timers'. (Check out the bit about the boat trip!!!)

This book didn't just provide me with information on what to see and where to go; it gave me an insight on how to get there and how to act in this strange yet amazing country.

An invaluable, superb book. A must if you are visiting Egypt (or indeed any middle east country) for the first time, the second time or even if you are a regular vistor. This author really knows her stuff!

Steve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative travel book, 8 April 2006

By	DJ (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews

I bought this book in order to help us prepare for our first trip and I wasn't disappointed, as there is so much useful and interesting info, especially regarding on how to barter with the locals.

The author is obviously knowledgeable and gives you valuable insights. The book is not so much concerned with the ancient sites, although many sites are discussed, but deals more with the practical side of a cruise, including how to deal with hassle, medical and money issues, clothing, food etc.

Our tour operator wasn't very forthcoming with this type of information but this book covers it beautifully. I am not exaggerating when I say this ebook is a mind of information, and especially if you don't know what to expect from your cruise, (like us) then you need all the help you can get.

The ebook also contains some lovely photos, which helps you to visualise what the author is talking about, for example when she talks about the tomb of Tuthmoses, and at the end of the book there is a list of useful links.

Handy size to take on holiday for reference.

Great advice - worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for first time cruiser, 13 Feb 2008

By	MR - See all my reviews

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 helped me on my hols to Egypt!
