Africa travel guide

Africa - Egypt (Chapter)

This is the Egypt chapter from Lonely Planet's Africa guidebook.

Egypt: a land of magnificent World Heritage Sites and a thousand tourist clichés. Linger in one of Alexandria's cosmopolitan cafes or sip a calming glass of shai (tea) after a frenzied shopping episode in Cairo's Khan al-Khalili, ponder the perfection of the pyramids or take a jaunt down the Nile.

  • witness life and death in epic proportions in Cairo, timeless city of pyramids
  • maps
  • explore the temples and tombs of the ancient city of Thebes in Luxor
  • transport & directory
  • admire Alexandria's colonial grandeur through a cloud of sheesha (water pipe) smoke at a period cafe
  • restaurants & accommodation

Coverage includes: Cairo & around, Saqqara & Dahshur, Sinai, Sharm El-Sheikh & Na'ama Bay, Dahab, St Katherine's Monastery, Suez Canal, Port Said, Red Sea Coast, Hurghada, Alexandria, Western Desert, Siwa Oasis, Bahariya Oasis, Farafra Oasis, Dakhla Oasis, Al-Kharga Oasis, Nile Valley, Luxor, South of Luxor, Aswan & around, Dangers & Annoyances.
