5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent travel guide, October 17, 2007

Maltese - See all my reviews

This review is from: Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I bought three travel books for Egypt (also Rough Guide and Lonely Planet), and this was my favorite. It is loaded with pictures and 3D layouts of the tourist attractions and cities. It lists the sites not to be missed and gives a great summary of the places and history. The section on practicalities of travel is also complete and helpful. Although the latest Rough Guide to Egypt has more in-depth coverage, the DK book will be going with me to Egypt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good but Lonely Planet is 10 times better!, March 1, 2008

Nightshade Magic "Nightshade Magic dot com" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)

While this book has a lot of pretty pictures, and quite a bit of information, I found the lonely planet guide to have about twice as much information on any given area, and cover more of the obscure places in Egypt.

3.0 out of 5 stars Limited Detailed Information, December 12, 2008

C. Leeds - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Not a bad guide, decent overview of all the sites and also cultural aspects of Egypt. My major complaint is that the maps are terrible. There is only one actual map, and it is only of Cairo (East of the Nile). So if you're staying in Giza (Cairo west of the Nile) you are kind of out of luck. Additionally there are loads of restaurants listed, but if they don't happen to be in Cairo then they will be no map of the location. If you're considering eating out, or doing anthing without a guide then you will need an additional guide book.
