Helpful Book for Recent Trip,
I went to Egypt for 10 days in April (2012). I had the opportunity to take a last-minute trip and needed a quick course in history and what I could expect to see. This book helped immensely! I had a guide and driver for all of my travel, but the book gave me the info I needed to plan my tours and hit the ground running. These are tense times in Egypt, but with caution, it is a wonderful time to visit. I breezed in and out of tourist sites and was greeted warmly wherever I went. If you are thinking of a trip to Egypt, the book is worth having!

|A typical Michelin guide,
This guide is typical Michelin, and it is excellent. However, I found it to be more helpful alongside the National Geographic Guide, which has helpful photographs. E.g. the latter shows the inside ladder of a pyramid, in itself advising caution for travelers who are unfit to climb. Michelin does not include this kind of information. Also, some of the info on tour boats is a tad outdated, so do your own research.

|Life on the Nile.,
This travel guide is an indispensable resource to planning a trip to Egypt, and it lives its reputations as a venerable Michelin guide to any of the destinations they describe – it concentrates on historical and cultural facts, and I’ve always found their star assignments accurate, that is to say agreeable with my taste. Truly a great guide in this sense, but traditionally it does not have any extensive information on hotels, etc.
