Egypt remains the most popular and varied destination in the Middle East and The Rough Guide to Egypt a trusted companion. “The best of the four guides we sampled,” wrote the Irish Times, “full of indispensable, erudite advice.” With a 200-page section devoted to Cairo and the pyramids alone, and full coverage of desert travel, Red Sea diving and Nile cruises, this is the indispensable handbook. Dan Richardson is the author of several other Rough Guides, including Moscow, Romania and St Petersburg.

Alexandria: City of Memory by Michael Haag
Dazzling Portrait of a City
Michael Haag has written a dazzling portrait of a city -- rich, evocative, full of layers and meanings -- a pure joy to read and savour. It is about Alexandria, but it is also about much more -- it is a book about all cities and how they shape us and shape our thoughts, our culture and our dreams. I cannot recommend this book enough.
