Egypt Insight Guide

This guidebook captures the birthplace of ancient civilzation, and should appeal to a wide audience, from explorers to armchair travellers. Compiled by a team of writers and photographers, this re-styled guide brings together the centuries. There is an emphasis on the Red Sea territory, which has had a great deal of investment channelled into tourism - a factor which is reflected throughout the book, particularly in the "Travel tips" section. During 1995, visitor figures for Egypt increased by 18 per cent to 2.6 million. With photographs and up-to-date maps, this book provides tips on travel, excursions, accommodation and restaurants.
