This review is from: Egypt Pocket Guide: Abu Simbel and the Nubian Temples (Egypt Guides) (Paperback)
My only complaint is that I wish this book was longer.
A very interesting read and great photography.
I look forward to more of Mr. Siliotti's books.

This review is from: Egypt Pocket Guide: Abu Simbel and the Nubian Temples (Egypt Guides) (Paperback)
The author discusses the history from the origins to the Unesco Nubian rescue in 1961. He writes about the various temples in Nubia, including Kalabsha, Beit al-Wali, Dakka, Amada, Derr and Qasr Ibrim. The temples of Ramses II and Nefertari are described in avid detail. Completed by beautiful photographs and useful maps, this is a much needed guide, essential for travelers.
