Egypt Travel Guide
Readers of the Nile Cruise Blog will know that our recommendation for an excellent Egypt Travel Guide is the Dorling Kindersley “Eyewitness Travel Egypt” guide that Barbara and I take with us each time we travel to Egypt.
You can read more about it here: “Eyewitness Travel Egypt”
(Don’t’ worry, we dont’ get any commissions from Amazon if you buy from these links!)
However, if you dont’ want to spend the £16.99 that the Eyewitness guide costs then this new guide may be more up your street.
Its’ the “Insight Guide to Egypt”
This is the description of the guide:
This brand new edition Insight Guide to Egypt features a wealth of inspiring full-colour photography, including double page spreads of some of the most outstanding views. The top ten sights are identified to show you the very best of this diverse country and to help you plan your trip priorities. A ‘Best of’ section highlights the most unique experiences Egypt has to offer, along with personal recommendations on the best views, Christian sights, mosques, museums and more. An in-depth ‘Places’ section covers the entire country region-by-region, with all the principal sites cross-referenced by number to the accompanying full-colour maps. Additional maps inside the front and back covers enable instant orientation and easy navigation. Colour-coded sections cover history and interesting features on everything from art and culture to the local people. There are also nine brand new ‘Photo Features’, covering the ancient gods, pyramids, wildlife and more. A comprehensive ‘Travel Tips’ section details transport, accommodation for all budgets, eating out, activities, and an A-Z of other practical information, including useful contact numbers, to ensure your trip goes smoothly. The unique combination of insightful exploration alongside practical advice means that this guide truly is a pleasure to read before, during and after your visit.
Although the list price is £14.99 you can, at the time of writing, actually buy it from Amazon from just £5.61.

If you are taking a Nile cruise or just thinking about it I really recommend that you take a good Egypt guide book with you. When your actually experiencing the sights, sounds and wonders of Ancient Egypt in “the flesh” you will want to learn more and having a good guide book with you gives you the chance to find out so much more and, I would suggest, increase you enjoyment of your visit to this fascinating country.
