Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
from DK Travel
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:

This is a great book for my upcoming trip to Egypt and Jordan. It has a lot of information and is loaded with plenty of color photographs. I only wish there was a book for Jordan too. The book also shows views of streets and locations of museums and all the sites not to miss in Egypt.

In an Antique Land: History in the Guise of a Traveler's Tale
from Vintage
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:

Dr. Ghosh is a social anthropologist by training, and a gentle one at that. He is also a gifted writer and a masterful storyteller. At least that is the impression I have formed from reading this book.
The book is part travelogue, part history and part anthropology. These three themes have been... more info

Egyptology
from Candlewick
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:

I was actually disappointed in this Ology book. I have two others and the way the information is presented in them plus the little extras were just better in those. There weren't as many exciting extras in this one as I expected and the "mummy cloth" example was a bit disappointing. I bought this... more info

Customer Review:

I hated this book. It is a long and boring story with no action. I do not recommend this book unless you are a history buff or are forced to read it.

Egypt - Culture Smart!: a quick guide to customs and etiquette (Culture Smart!)
from Kuperard
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:

This is not a guide book - it's not about places, good restaurants and value hotels.
This is about the people of Egypt, their history, their culture and how they think.
As such, it is a much more interesting read than any guide book.

The Rough Guide to Egypt 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
from Rough Guides
Price: $15.63

Customer Review:

In addition to providing me with the basics of where to stay, where to go, etc. RG gave me all of the cultural/historical information I needed to have a deeper understanding of Egyptian culture and better enjoy my trip. The enhanced discussion of "baksheesh" was particularly useful!!

from University of Georgia Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

I will refrain from giving a summary of the book, as a couple of other reviewers did a nice job of that previously. I will offer a few brief impressions of this work.
Having obtained a degree in African studies in the 1990s, I was well aware of the issues facing Sudan and the history of the... more info
