Egypt by Andrew Humphreys and co-authors such as Siona Jenkins is a cult travel guide published by Lonely Planet that served as an essential companion for independent travelers at the turn of the millennium. It brought major updates and expansions for its time. The guide contains detailed information on then newly opened historical sites, including the famous Tomb of Nefertari, as well as an illustrated cultural and historical handbook on pharaonic gods, hieroglyphic writing, and ancient Egyptian architecture. Alongside its rich cartography featuring over 91 detailed maps of cities and archaeological sites, the book also offers expanded sections on outdoor activities, such as diving in the Red Sea, trekking routes across Sinai, and camel safaris, together with comprehensive practical advice on accommodation and dining tailored to all types of budgets. Although the practical information regarding prices and hotels is now outdated, this volume remains highly valued among collectors for its rich historical descriptions and excellent cultural insights, making it a nostalgic and valuable addition to any collection of travel literature.
