The Nile Insight Guide

During 1995, visitor figures for Egypt increased by 18 per cent to 2.6 million, and cruising down the Nile is now a popular tourist attraction. This revised edition is a travel companion and a souvenir of a Nile cruise. Egypt only exists because of the Nile. It rises deep in the heart of Africa from long-disputed sources. It was along this river that the world's most advanced culture blossomed and died, leaving a legacy of now legendary pyramids, temples and tombs. This guide contains up-to-date maps, along with tips on travel, excursions, accommodation and restaurants.
