If you have an iPhone you might like to take a look at a new “application” from HearPlanet.  Called “The World’s First Talking Tour Guide For Your Cellphone“, here are the main features:
- Global Coverage with Hundreds of Thousands of Locations.
- Additional Enhanced Content Added Daily.
- Geolocation for Instant Info on What’s Nearby.
So essentially when you are at the Valley Of The Kings and use HearPlanet on your iPhone it will use the location of your phone to deliver facts and figures about the Valley Of The Kings.
Your own private tour guide!
Now I’m not suggesting that it will be as good as the Egyptologist who will be with you but for £3.49 it’s a bargain. Dont’ forget you can use it anywhere you go in the world.
It has interactive maps, hundreds of professionally voiced topics, new content added daily and it instantly answers the question “what’s nearby?”.
I think for £3.49 it’s worth having it in your pocket. If you download it and use it in Egypt before I do I’d love to hear how you found it. You can find it here.
