Egypt

📖 The Scoop

This travel guide brings readers the best of Egypt in text, pictures, and maps. Divided into three main sections, the guide begins with an overview of history and culture. Following are eight regional chapters with featured sites selected by the author for their particular interest and treated in depth. Each chapter opens with its own contents list for easy reference. The regions, and sites within them, are arranged geographically, each one introduced with a map highlighting the featured sites. Walks and a cycle ride, plotted on their own maps, suggest routes for discovering an area. The editors have included detailed background and site descriptions plus fascinating vignettes on history, culture, and contemporary life; mapped walking and driving tours; a complete directory of visitor information, including notable hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping; and foldout end flaps, printed with maps and quick reference information that serve as handy bookmarks.
