3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but limited, May 16, 2000
By A Customer
This is a very good guide to Egypt in that it gives an excellent historical account of the culture of the Nile. However, outside of Cairo, the practical information is very patchy and generally misleading. Within Cairo, the guide provides detailed maps, excellent recommendations on accomodations, sights, museums, restaurants. If only this were titled the Blue Guide to Cairo, since its section on Cairo is the only one that shines. The guide provides very little information on transportation and accomodation in cities and smaller locales outside of Cairo. Recommended, as long as you know its limits and do not rely on it outside of the major metropolitan areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST Guide for Eqypt, September 8, 2004
By RM (London) - See all my reviews
Felt compelled to write this after seeing the comments of the previous reviewer.
This is an EXCELLENT guide, instead of wasting money on being carted around en masse on naff tours, save yourself loads of money and just buy this. Its true the bits on Cairo are great but so was all the stuff on Luxor and other areas. We did an off the beaten track cruise (Aswan to Abu Simbel) and had guides with the package and there was not much on the minor ruins and temples here but then its a huge fat book as it is. The descriptions of Karnak are great! Enjoy Egypt - its an fab country with wonderful people and an AMAZING history.
