We just returned from Egypt and normally I love Lonely Planet books, and actually bought 2 copies of this one (left the first one at home) but i recommend you look for other options. Several times we found the information in the book to be outdated or unhelpful.
- They love Dahab, but there are no tour companies listed in the Dahab section to help us arrange some tours
- The best hotel in Dahab, the Le Meridien, is not even listed in the book.
- The travel agency they recommend in Luxor was HORRIBLE. We cut our tour short.
- They are also missing new hotels in Cairo, like the Fairmont hotel.
- The book makes it seem like Cairo has very few metered taxis, but in fact, there are tons. Seems to be old data.
