Description
Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan all run alongside one of Egypt's most famous features, the river Nile, but all have their own distinct character. Cairo, the most well-known, is both one of the world's finest medieval cities and a vibrant metropolis, and is the perfect base for exploring Egypt's great Pyramids. Luxor is home to a wonderful temple, built by Amenophis III, and is the best place from which to discover the ancient Necropolis of Thebes. And Aswan, the frontier outpost of Egypt, lays claim to the Elephantine Island, the ruins of Yebu and the tranquil Nubian villages. Written with insight, charm, and wit, Cadogan's superb guide offers the best way to enjoy a three-destination break or sample the cities individually. - from Amzon
