Fantastic==The only guide book to use!5
What a fantastic read! It is my first time to a hot country never mind such a diverse country as Egypt. It has the basics as well as the regional in depth detail. The basics are really for people who have never travelled further than europe or never travelled at all. Although it would still have useful information for the well seasoned traveller.
We are two girls travelling alone in April and we have found the book a simple but interesting read with lots of good tips (even a special chapter on females travellers)
The rest of the book concentrates on the specific areas of Egypt and the attractions that are there and the cost as well as any accommodation. It also has maps of the areas in turn and anything of special interest or any dangers etc.

BRILIIANT, can't wait for my holiday!!!!!
