Each "Traveler" guide includes such practical information as getting there and around, where to stay, and cultural and recreational activities to help make the most of your vacation.

In this beautifully presented guidebook to Egypt, National Geographic Traveler continues its highly acclaimed formula of combining in-depth description with spectacular photography, maps, and artwork. You'll find three-dimensional drawings of the Al-Azhar Mosque and the Pyramids, as well as detailed floor plans, including one for the Egyptian Museum. Guided walking tours explore daily life, including a stroll in downtown Cairo and a visit to Literary Alexandria. An extensive section on the country's history and culture leads the guide, while detailed sidebars - on Egyptian birds, mummies, and cruising the Nile, to name a few - add further depth to your visit. And, equipped with this guide's indispensable regional and neighborhood maps, you shouldn't get lost. Broken into 9 regions, the tour begins in Cairo and proceeds to the Delta and Suez, Alexandria, the Western Desert, Middle Egypt, Luxor, Aswan, and finally the Red Sea and Sinai.
