5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect travel companion for a 1st time traveler to Egypt!, April 29, 2000

By	Marsha Gruenemeier (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fodor's Egypt, 1st Edition: The Complete Guide to Cairo, Ancient Wonders, the Red Sea, Sinai, and Desert Oas es (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

Fodor's Pockeet Egypt, 1999 is a perfect travel companion for the first time visitor as well as return travelers. The illustrations, maps, critical advice and information about going to the middle east is easily understood and helpful. I actually felt much more comfortable going on my trip after reading Fodor's detailed guide on customs, food, cultural differences, hotels, and tour information. It helped me plan the timing in Cairo, Luxor, and especially venturing south to less traveled areas. Fodor also helped prepared me for the costs of the tours, times to go on excursions as well as food and lodging. "This book was my little bible" while touring this country full of history. I teach the 6th grade. My social studies curriculum "came to life" with Fodor's help while exploring the splendors of "Egypt"!

2.0 out of 5 stars not the best choice,perhaps, March 17, 2001

By	K. M Merrill "justine" (Forest Grove, OR, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fodor's Egypt, 1st Edition: The Complete Guide to Cairo, Ancient Wonders, the Red Sea, Sinai, and Desert Oas es (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

When my sister, and neice and myself went to Egypt in 1997, we took three guide books. The Fodors, Lets Go, and the Rough Guide. We threw the Fodors, and Lets Go out in Luxor, and used the Rough guide. We loved Egypt, and are planning another trip, Culture Shock would have been a good book to have read first. If you go to Luxor, go stay at Abul Kassem's place, just show up, its always empty. We also loved the Three Corners on the beach at Hurgada. Now i am dreaming again .......

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, March 8, 2001

In true Fodor's style this book is worth the money. It doesn't contain everything you need to know, but it definitely gives you a good idea what to go see and what not to see. If you are looking for a great pocket reference while you are in Egypt, this is the way to go. I investigated a lot of different books and this was by far the best one.
