''Lonely Planet. It''s on everyone''s bookshelves; it''s in every traveler''s hands. It''s on mobile phones. It''s on the Internet. It''s everywhere, and it''s telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.'' Fairfax Media (Australia) Review: Travel guide - Very informative. Felt as if I was wandering in Egypt. Review: Detailed guide on Egypt - Lonely Planet lives to its reputation of comprehensive travel guides and this one on Egypt is no exception. Well researched article and texts not only on travel but also on economy, culture, geography and importantly Egyptology. I would have given 5* but giving 4* because quality of illustration, maps and photographs is quite lower than other travel guide on Egypt like DK.

Detailed guide on Egypt
Lonely Planet lives to its reputation of comprehensive travel guides and this one on Egypt is no exception. Well researched article and texts not only on travel but also on economy, culture, geography and importantly Egyptology. I would have given 5* but giving 4* because quality of illustration, maps and photographs is quite lower than other travel guide on Egypt like DK.

Far from the information booklets of old
It had up to date information from a recent update, which was a positive. I like that most of the regions in Egypt are covered within. Highly positive spin on Egypt. Too little information on the negatives and how to minimise them as a non-arabic non-muslim. Some information on health issues, but superficial. The information isn't detailed and often refers you for example to websites. The maps are more artistic, rather the informative. Better than nothing for planning purposes, but seek advice from other sources on for example vaccinations, food hygiene, Egyptian water parasites, scammers and so forth.

This is not a Lonely planet
Before buying I was skeptical of others' negativism: but they are right. lonely planet has completely screwed up this new format. I would be able to find more info on Google but if so why should I spend money on a book. This is the first time I am going to other brands for my travel and hope it will be the sign for them to go back to what they were used to
