3.0 out of 5 stars Good supplement, April 19, 2000

By	Michael McDaniel (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We found Fodor's Exploring Egypt to be full of pretty pictures and good history, but a bit short on practical information. Specifically, the information on various sites and events was incomplete (hours would be omitted, no helpful hints provided, etc.)

The Lonely Planet Guide is a much better resource. It really contained everything we needed to know during our week there, and we'd recommend that guide over this one if you only get one. Exploring Egypt does have many more pictures, however, and can help you get a feel for what you want to see, so we recommend it as a second resource.
