Customer Reviews

Excellent travel guide
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.

Pretty good but Lonely Planet is 10 times better!
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.

Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guide)

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.
