Riassunto

Baedeker is proud to welcome this brand new guide to Egypt. At the heart of this full-colour and visually inspiring guide is a wealth of well-researched information and over 200 detailed recommendations, written by experts. From the temples, pyramids and treasures of the pharaohs to bustling bazaars and oasis towns, you will find all the sights and top attractions explored in an easy-to-read A-Z format. Superb 3D laminated illustrations display the key sights in perspective and include the Great Temple of Ramses II and Temple of Horus, brought to life at the turn of a page. Clear and concise background texts cover Egypt's fascinating history and culture, tracing the key events from ancient times up to the present day. Special feature pages cover topics of particular interest that provide a rare glimpse into everyday life in the 'kingdom of pharaohs, gods and hieroglyphs'. A comprehensive 'Practicalities' chapter covers all the essential travel advice you need, including accommodation, transport, food and drink, health, shopping, language, sport and much more, not to mention useful insider tips for travellers with disabilities. It reveals when and where you can catch festivals, holidays and events throughout the year and also highlights the best beaches and dive sites worth visiting. There are plenty of 'Baedeker tips' alongside the relevant places and sights information, making this guide ideal for on-the-spot reference. The guide is accompanied by a large, fully indexed, pull-out map, not to mention 77 detailed maps and plans within the text that clearly pin-point the best places to stay and top venues to eat and drink en route. There are 8 recommended tours specially designed to ensure you see the very best of this magical country, whether you want to experience a classic Nile cruise, follow in the footsteps of Moses and climb Mount Sinai or explore the White Desert. Journey lengths range from 2 days to 2 weeks, so you can choose the tour to suit you and top sights are clearly plotted along the way with the distances marked between them. All of this invaluable information is contained in a handy plastic wallet that allows you to keep the guide and map together whilst ensuring that both will survive in all weather.
