5.0 out of 5 stars Egypt Is More Than Mummies, October 22, 2003

This review is from: Beyond the Pyramids: Travels in Egypt (Paperback)

Kennedy's lovely account of day-to-day (rather than tourist) Egypt is insightful and thought-provoking. Too often we think of this country only as ancient history; Kennedy meets its taxi drivers, poets, and felucca captains. As he travels the country's immense expanse, he attempts to understand its people and their desires. At the same time, he uncovers some of his own philosophies and values.
