5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST!, April 23, 2009
By B. Fernandes "dokinha" (Flower Mound, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best book you can buy with useful information about traveling in Egypt! This is not one of those book full of pictures with no information that you can actually use.
I am getting ready to go to Egypt and of all the 5 books I bought, this is the best!

2.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's Eqypt review, February 22, 2009
By Georges Lequime (Sevenoaks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Usually we swear by the Frommer's guides. This one, though, disappointed. We found some of the advice dated and inconsistent with our experience in Cairo.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring, not very fun to use, April 14, 2009
By E. Johnson (El Cajon, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I have used Frommers in the past, and overall I have thought the information was useful. However, this time I took a trip (to Egypt for 2 days) that was put together by a company, so my hotels/restaurants, etc were already taken care of. Thus, the nitty-gritty info that Frommers provided was not needed. In addition, the book just wasn't fun to read. I so much more enjoyed Fodor's Exploring Egypt and DK Eyewitness Travel guide to Egypt, as they both contained fun information and it was exciting to discover in graphics that were pleasing to the eye. Unless you're booking your own hotels and the like, I'd probably stay away from Frommers.
