Eyewitness Travel Guide to Egypt
Well organized, current, accurate as far as I could tell. Very nice -- as I have found most Eyewitness Guides. I agreed with reviews of small number/small sample of restuarants and hotels. Guide enhanced an excellent trip!.

Fabulous guide
The guide we always look for when planning a trip. Comprehensive, pictorial.

Highly recommended
Maps are clear and helpful, photos help to explain all of the rich history and culture of Egypt. I've been highly satisfied with the Eyewitness Travel Guide series, and this Egypt edition does not disappoint. We brought the Lonely Planet Egypt book with us as well, but we found the Eyewitness Travel Guide to be clearer and simpler to use.

The only issue that we found with the book was viewing a performance of the whirling dervishes in Cairo. The book directs us to a place near the bazaar, but the mosque where they normally perform is under renovation. As a result, the performances were being held at the Citadel during the time of our visit. This isn't the book's fault, as this was new and even the conceirge directed us to the wrong place.

That being said, the book guided us to the right places many other times. We especially appreciated the tip on the Egyptian Pancake place in the bazaar!.
