Lonely Planet Egypt (Country Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"We've just come back from honeymoon and used this book when we visited Cairo and particularly the incredible museum... the descriptions are spot on and the book guides you thru' room by room. Our tour guide was saying practically the same things as the book, so its all you need!

Dress codes for women in Cairo aren't as strict as the book makes it out to be, there were loads of girls with string tops and shorts, so long skirts and long sleeved shirts aren't necessarily a must!! Other than that, pretty accurate about local customs and traditions." This book has great information on Egypt, well worth reading if you renting a Vacation Cottage in Egypt.

"I've been to Egypt 3 times and the last time I spent 4 months there. The general consensus amongst travellers was that the Rough Guide was superior, but that the Lonely Planet has better maps. An additional issue is that since the Lonely Planet is the most popular guidebook, do you really want to be sitting smoking sheesha at a coffee shop filled with other white middle class travellers, all with Lonely Planets on their tables? Cringe!" This book has wonderfull information about Egypt. So take it with you when you Rent a Vacation Property in Egypt.

"We visited Egypt over Xmas 2002 and this was the only guide book we had and needed! It covers everything and all the major cities/places eg Cairo/Luxor/Aswan/Alexandria as well as useful guides to all the major temples and sites. There were times when frustrated with some of our guides I would walk off and explore places on my own using this book as my guide, it contains maps of the big temples and details of the layout as well as historical details...We found it indispensible...It also provides hotel info, prices, cultural/political/social information - if you're thinking of buying a guide book for your holiday to Egypt then definitely invest in this one...and have a lovely time!! Egypt is wonderful!! Enjoy!" If you are thinking about renting a Holiday Apartments in Egypt, I would buy this book to take with you while in Egypt.

"I am planing another trip to Egypt, and am considering taking this lonely planet along, as well as the new and much improved rough guide 2001. my last trip, the rough guide was the most serviceable, and the new edition is much better. don't bother with lets go. I loved egypt, and am off again this fall. Both the rough guide and lonely planet are thin on recomendations for day guides in cario, but they are there, hidden in the chapters. justine who loves to travel" Before renting a Alternative Holiday Villa in Egypt, I would read this book while in Egypt.

"There is one correction I'd like to add to the Lonely Planet, Egypt. I recently returned from Cairo, Egypt. I bought my papyrus art from Mr. Said (pronounced Saieed) and highly recommend him. However, go to his office (Delta Papyrus Center--21 El Ghouria St., 3rd floor #17, Cairo, Egypt) BY YOURSELF. There will be people trying to "guide" you to his office and then ask you to pay them. He will give you an excellent price, but go alone without any guide. Enjoy!" Why not buy this book, and read while on your Holiday in Egypt. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Holiday Cottage in Egypt.

Egypt (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Detailed, highly informative, with an air of authority and erudition, this is an outstanding example of this fine set of travel books. Honest about bureaucracy and the travails facing the independent traveller, this book nevertheless communicates a real love of its subject, lacking the alienating hauteur of the Guide to Greece (so jaded with its subject it makes Greek island hopping sound about as much fun as the M40). With potted guides to the religious and cultural heritage which underpins the famous sites, this book is a must for first-time visitors." Before renting a Vacation Property in Egypt, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Egypt.

"While my companion and I had four guide books between us for our two week trip, the Rough Guide was the one that we constantly referred to. After a while, we didn't even look at the others, even though they had fancier and more colorful illustrations. By far, the Rough Guide gave us more, and more useful, information on the locations we visited than the others. The descriptions of the various neighborhoods and the sights along the way were most helpul in our planning for the one free day in Cairo that we had from our group tour. We also appreciated the discussion of customs and practices (the notes on baksheesh, for example, helped us gain a better understanding of a practice that many Americans found annoying). An added benefit: it weighed less than the fancier guides with glossy pages, so it was far easier to carry with us." This book has great information about Egypt. So take it with you when you Rent a Alternative Vacation Casa in Egypt.

"Overall I was quite pleased with this guide. It provided accurate information for transportaion details, hotels and restaurants and gave good basic introductions to the sites and cities, as well as what to expect in the culture. The city maps were accurate and the maps of ancient egyptian monuments were helpful and enough for me, though anyone with a serious interest in them will want to pick up something extra (the guide recommends titles). DOn't rely on the arabic section at the back - if you need to teach yourself any arabic for a trip you'd do best to buy an egytian arabic phrasebook as the rough guides section is small and can mislead your pronounciation."

Libya Handbook: The Travel Guide (Footprint Handbooks) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I used this book when I was in Libya over xmas 2003/new year 2004.

The book is great when you want to know about the history of the country. It has lots of in depth material and is well regarded by the Libyan guides that I met.

However, it is now 3 years old and in desperate need of an update. For instance, I was told that the statues held in store at the Temple of Zeus in Cyrene are no longer there and that they have been transferred to a local museum (which has yet to be opened).

The maps could be improved as well." Before renting a Vacation Villa in Egypt, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Egypt.

"This is the best guide to Libya available. The author has obviously spent a lot of time in Libya and explains the ins and outs of travel there so you can make the best of your time in Libya - a fascinating country. Visit it now before the rush and don't forget the Footprint guide." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Vocation or Holiday in Egypt. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Vocation or Holiday Villa in Egypt.

"I used this book when visiting Egypt in June. I followed it around Cairo and also when I took a cruise on the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. It was comprehensive, full of insights, always reliable. I cannot recommend it highly enough." Before renting a Holiday House in Egypt, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Egypt.

"I found this an excellent guide, written with a sure sense of history and a true feeling for Egypt and its people. Though the title mentions Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, it covers fascinating excursions too, for example sailing across Lake Nasser to the little visited temples of Nubia, bringing you finally to the stupendous temples of Abu Simbel. Highly recommended." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Holiday in Egypt. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Alternative Holiday Property in Egypt.

"I could not have asked for a better companion when I traveled in Egypt this spring. Michael Haag is a real expert; his guide is packed with informed comments and fascinating insights.

Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt: The Secret History Hidden in the Valley of the Kings (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I am usually not interested in historical or religious themed books, but on the recommendation of a friend, I read Mr. Phillip's book and was so inspired by how he took me on a journey of discovery from beginning to end of a magnificent and well-known story. It was so easy to follow - I wish 'Sunday school' had been taught this way, for it truly is wonderful to learn of these important times of our past. To comprehend them not as myth and legend, but of truth.

I recommend this book highly to everyone - it breaths life into a time that we all inspire to, but don't fully embrace." www.HomeIsAway.com great Vacation Apartment to Rent in Egypt.

"This is a really fascinating book which links the Bible with archaeology. The ten plagues of the Exodus that the Bible tells us made it possible for Moses and the Israelites to escape slavery in Egypt has got to be one of the most important events in history - if the they really occurred. I have long wondered whether or not the Exodus account was fact or mythology and this book has persuaded me that it is based to a large degree on historical truth." If you are thinking about renting a Vacation Villas in Egypt, I would buy this book to take with you while in Egypt.

"This book is a real gem. Graham Phillips' revelation that the golden face mask on the coffin of Tutankhamun does not depict the famous boy king is truly fascinating. I can't believe that no one has noticed it before. Just compare it with the famous death mask - it clearly is not the same. I also found it remarkable that no one has realized that the ten plagues of Egypt so resemble the effects of volcanic fallout before.

Keep up the good work Mr. Phillips - and keep everybody on their toes.

The only thing I don't quite understand is the title. Atlantis does not seem to have anything to do with this book, apart from on one page." Relax with this book when on Alternative Holiday in Egypt. It would be so handy when you Rent a Alternative Holiday Villa in Egypt.

The Rough Guide History of Egypt (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"This is a remarkable achievement: five thousand years of Egyptian history in a single highly readable volume. It is tremendously interesting to see how Egypt's pharaonic history evolves into its Christian period (yes, Egypt was one of the first Christian countries and much of Christian belief and imagery today is owed to ancient Egypt, the book tells us) -- and to see how the outlook of modern Egypt is shaped by that earlier past, together with the effects of the Arab/Islamic conquest. I think this is the only book that puts the entire history of Egypt together for you -- it is absolutely essential for anyone studying Egypt, travelling to Egypt, in any way at all interested in Egypt. I cannot recommend it highly enough." If you are thinking about renting a Alternative Vacation Houses in Egypt, I would buy this book to take with you while in Egypt.

"Michael Haag's history of Egypt covers five thousand years and more, from even before the time of the pharaohs and right down to the present day. All the more amazing then that this history of Egypt manages to cover such a vast period of time so comprehensively, in such detail and accuracy, and is very readable too. If I am not mistaken, this is the first time that anyone has attempted a history of Egypt on such a scale; Michael Haag has been entirely successful, and we are the beneficiaries." Before renting a Vacation House in Egypt, I would read this book while in Egypt.

"There is nothing else like this: a review of five thousand years of Egyptian history. This book sets the context for everything else you might want to read; it puts eras and events into perspective. Its massive bibliography will point you in the right direction, whether you want to read up on the modern or Arab or Ptolemaic or pharaonic periods. It is clear, reliable, and very well written. I cannot recommend it highly enough -- to students, to travelers, to anyone interested in Egypt." Before renting a Alternative Holiday Apartment in Egypt, I would read this book while in Egypt.

"This book is not really a history. It is more of a timeline, but one for thousands of years of Egyptian history. It will give you information about dates and events, but very little analysis.

However, I am not aware of any other book for the general reader which covers the whole span of Egypt's long and amazing history, a history which did not end with Cleopatra VII's suicide. This book is useful for the tourist or the casual reader, but not for the serious student of history." Before renting a Vacation Apartment in Egypt, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Egypt.

"This is really a remarkable book, as it starts with the prehistory of Egypt, then covers three thousand years of ancient pharaonic times, and another two thousand years of Romans, Arabs and the present day -- and it never loses its detail, its readability, its reliability. No other book of this scope has ever been written, and its a godsend to all of us fascinated by Egypt that this book is available to us now. It is a must for our bookshelves, and it is designed to fit into anyone's pocket so can accompany you on your travels down the Nile, into the office, or into the university library." Before renting a Vacation Property in Egypt, I would read this book.
