An Excellent Choice to Take to Egypt
I waited until my return from Egypt to rate this travel guide. My evaluation: this is an excellent travel set (book and map) to take on your trip to Egypt, especially if you are going on an accompanied tour as most Americans do. There are bigger and more complete tomes on Egypt, but this compact book covers everything needed in the main areas of interest. Having a fold-up map that fits in the book cover as well is very handy. The book will fit in a purse or camera bag, not weigh you down, and provide all the detail you need on the main sights of Egypt.
