Superb introduction to egypt and its people
| Customer Rating: | 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. |
A Gem
| Customer Rating: | | The little book presents an excellent overview of a country with a complicated history. It covers succinctly the highlights of Egyptian history from the earliest time through to the present in so few pages that you end up with a real understanding of the progression of time. It then covers current social, economic, and political life. It gives excellent advice on what every tourist should know but even if you aren't going to Egypt this would be an interesting read. I can't imagine not reading this before going. It is not a guide book and is not advertised as such. |
