On my trip to Egypt this book was very usfull. It has information about tourist places, hotels, restaurants. It also has usfull tips and cultural information. It is a complete guide for those who wants to go with or without a tour to Egypt. Do not hesitate this is the guide you are looking for!

 Very good book - it saved my neck in Egypt! May 23, 2007

I am so glad I bought and digested Lonely Planet Egypt before setting foot in Egypt recently. While the book is very good about places to see and things to do, it also has excellent information of what to watch out for. I can't stress enough some of the points made in the book about being vigilant, counting your change, respecting the religion, and not being swindled left and right. The book makes a point of how to deal with taxi drivers, hotel staff, tipping, and even shopping insights. Obviously the book paints a pretty positive picture of Egypt, but few people come back with positive attitudes about Egypt when they return, but no other book tells you point blank what to expect when you get there and how best to enjoy the sights and sounds of Cairo and the rest of the country. I can safely say that if I had not bought Lonely Planet Egypt, I may have even had much worse things happen to me there, so I really credit this book for saving my neck since Egypt is not the safest destination for American tourists nowadays - be sure to read the US State Department info before departing. Buy the book and be sure to think on your feet while you are there - those are the two most important things to have on hand in Egypt.
Thorough & helpful - another LP winner March 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
As always, from health to history, from the Nile to the necropolis, Lonely Planet does it again--assaulting you with helpful information you need before traveling. I did not check to see if there was a "Footprints" guide (which I highly recommend for South America and Peru over the LP guides) for Egypt. But I have been very satisfied with LP's work with Egypt.
A must-have for any Egypt trip January 5, 2007

My friends and I took both the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet on a recent two-week trip to Egypt. RG had better maps, but it was the LP we repeatedly turned to for reference on dining, shopping and sightseeing. Some prices were slightly inaccurate, but the guide was extremely accessible and easy to understand. The descriptions of museums, temples and tombs were concise while offering enough information for us to grasp what it was we were seeing.
We would especially recommend LP for younger adults who are traveling on a budget but can afford the occasional splurge.
