Lonely Planet Egypt 13 (Travel Guide)

One of the things I love about lonely planet guide books is that they write their books for the independent traveler and by that I mean the guides are very thorough and they always say at least a little about everything and cover bigger things in even greater detail. I like the way they recommend top sights, restaurants, and hotels. All in all, very well rounded guide books with lots of the little details necessary for independent travel. I have traveled to over 70 countries and use them almost exclusively.

I love the lonley planet books. They are well though out, clear to understand, make sense, great pictures, and most of all accurate information. Best book out there, by far. This has helped me plan my vacation at Christmas. Must have!

Overall, this is an okay guidebook, although it seems aimed at more of a budget traveler than I am, apparently. Gave it four stars because the section on Cairo is confusing and because it often describes sites that are closed to the public (why include them in such detail if you can't go to them??). It's the only current guidebook on the market, but I wish Fodor's and Frommer's would update theirs so that it isn't. (Still much better than DK, though, which is only pretty pictures and contains none of the information you really need to plan a trip.)

I originally bought this as an ebook which was a horrible idea. It is not easy to flip back and forth to look at maps and piece together information in an ebook. So I purchased a soft copy of the book and I am now satisfied. So much better to have the actual book in your hand to mark pages and find information quickly.

Just went on a month-long trip to Egypt on June 2019 and despite this book being last updated on 2018, it had great and up to date content regarding places, attractions and things to do. I have pretty much being building a collection of all the Lonely Planets I have bought, I have no been disappointed.

I bought this book for travel to Egypt with my family as we did not book through a travel agent. I read quite a lot of the book before traveling and it helped plan our trip! It was also our travel guide as we made our way around Egypt. The information in the book is accurate and very helpful.

The travel guide to Egypt I received is in like new condition. Lonely Planet guide books are top notch and I can't wait to delve into this one.

This book was very helpful for dining and navigating Giza. Just wish the Egyptian museum hours were accurate because the book says they close at 7pm and when we arrived at 4pm, we only had 1 hour to zoom through the mummies because they actually close at 5pm!
