Essential reading for Egypt Buffs

This guide was essential reading prior to and during my trip to Egypt. The information given regarding the ancient sites and how to find them was most helpful. The guide offers invaluable historical perspectives and interesting tidbits about the sites. My friends and I even found information about remote sites that we thought we'd have no chance of finding. Although we used other travel guides for most of the information on lodging, etc., the information contained on those aspects was certainly accurate. I wouldn't go back to Egypt without it!
