In its first revised edition since 1996, this guidebook focuses not on amenities like many others do, but instead explores destinations and histories. Covering Alexandria, the Western Desert
Coast, the Delta coast, and the North Sinai Coast, this guide is intended more for the serious traveler than a tourist coming off a cruise ship, and while it's long on histories, paths and
sights, and colloquial advice, for some it may come up short in the logistics department. Two brief appendices cover hotels, restaurants, and transport and road networks. Distributed in the
U.S. by International Publishers Marketing (IPM). Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
