5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent travel guide, October 17, 2007

By	Maltese - See all my reviews

I bought three travel books for Egypt (also Rough Guide and Lonely Planet), and this was my favorite. It is loaded with pictures and 3D layouts of the tourist attractions and cities. It lists the sites not to be missed and gives a great summary of the places and history. The section on practicalities of travel is also complete and helpful. Although the latest Rough Guide to Egypt has more in-depth coverage, the DK book will be going with me to Egypt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good but Lonely Planet is 10 times better!, March 1, 2008

By	Nightshade Magic "Nightshade Magic dot com" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews

While this book has a lot of pretty pictures, and quite a bit of information, I found the lonely planet guide to have about twice as much information on any given area, and cover more of the obscure places in Egypt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guide), March 11, 2008

By	E. White "globetrotter" (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These guides are the very best in the business. If I'm thinking of going on a trip, I think again if there isn't an Eyewitness guide in print.

EGYPT is the same high calibre as all the others I've bought over the years.
