Summary: To the Point Info accompanied with Pics and Maps
Comment: Whenever we traveled Eyewitness Travel Guides is as important to us to bring to our trips as our passports. We were a little dissapointed when we wanted to find one about Peru and Ecuador/Galapagos last year, but couldn't. Thank goodness we found one for our trip to Egypt. Due to Egypt's vast amount of Temples, Tombs and cities we had to get another book, The Rough Guides, to tell us more about the logistics of navigating the country, however ETG was in our backpack all the time. The pics are very helpful, as well as to the point info about them. The guide shows how the temple was supposed to look at the time of construction, and it shows you pics of what to expect inside their chambers. This way you can better assess what places to skip and what is a must see. We've saved a lot of time this way, because we are able to spend more time examining what we like without feeling like we would be missing on something.
This is how we picked what tombs to see in the Valley of Kings.
The guide also tells you useful words and phrases in Arabic (with English pronunciation). It also tells you what are good buys in the country and it shows you pictures and the names of dishes which we tried and wouldn't be able to know.
Hope you enjoy it too.

Summary: Great overview of Egypt
Comment: I bought this book for my tour of Egypt in October 2007. I bought it along on the trip with me. It provides a great overview of Egypt and even maps of what the major attractions look like. Fabulous photos too.
