  While Egypt has always been a popular tourist destination, the volume of visitors there has grown a great deal in recent years. Most travelers take The Classic Egypt Tour -- the subject of this guide -- from Cairo and the Pyramids at Giza and Saqqara, down the Nile to the temples of Abydos and Dendera, Luxor, Karnak and the Necropolis of Thebes; and, finally, on to the great Aswan Dam. Building on the success of Cadogan's comprehensive guide to the whole country by the same author, this new book contains 20% more information on some of the most important monuments to civilization in the world.
