Product Description

Product Description

Egypt remains the most popular and varied destination in the Middle East. This guide has a 200-page section devoted to Cairo and the Pyramids alone, as well as full coverage of the great landscapes, from the Nile Valley to the Sinai coast and the oases of the Western Desert. For pre-departure inspiration, the author's "things not to miss" section aims to immerse the reader in the sights and sounds of this enthralling destination. The book also includes the latest on Red Sea diving, including new areas being opened up away from the established resorts.


About the Author

Dan Richardson joined Rough Guides in 1984, after working as a sailor in the Red Sea and a commodities dealer in Peru. He has travelled extensively around Eastern Europe and Egypt.

5.0 out of 5 stars egypt ~ the right of passage, 12 Nov 2003
being an egyptophile now for some years + amassing nearly all the travel guides on egypt, i can with my hand on my heart say that dan richmond, et alia, have by far the best, informative + succint guide.

if i had to only choose one for a trip to egypt, then the rough guide wins hands down. the information is thorough, measured and as accurate as it possibly can be. the style of writing makes me chorkle as the innate humour could only have come from one who knows egypt, its people + its quirks. so really as u read it u are transported to egypt by the book's very fragrant anecdotes.

this new edition (5th) has improved on its detailing of places to stay ~ my main bug bear with the 4th edition + the reference sections pertaining to music + further reading at the end of the book are superb for the initial toe dip into, what is, one of the most interesting + intriquing countries on the planet.

PLEASE rough guide take out a Cairo city guide ~ this is one hole in the market that is waiting to be filled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, 27 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Detailed, highly informative, with an air of authority and erudition, this is an outstanding example of this fine set of travel books. Honest about bureaucracy and the travails facing the independent traveller, this book nevertheless communicates a real love of its subject, lacking the alienating hauteur of the Guide to Greece (so jaded with its subject it makes Greek island hopping sound about as much fun as the M40). With potted guides to the religious and cultural heritage which underpins the famous sites, this book is a must for first-time visitors.
