About The Book Ancient Egypt has gripped the popular imagination like no other civilization. The lure of its pyramids and the Nile River are a magnet for visitors from all over the world. This book provides a concise and fascinating journey from the country’s earliest beginnings right up to the present day.A Traveller’s History of Egypt communicates the magic of the pharaohs alongside a level-headed discussion of Islam for the benefit of modern travelers. The book will span the entire history of Egypt, from the murkiest origins of prehistory right up to the latest developments – all in a style that is as entertaining as it is well-informed. There are few books on Egyt that attempt this feat, but to do so is perhaps more important today than it has ever been: a time when an understanding of contemporary Egypt is not merely an advantage for travel there, but a necessity. This book will shed light on the major controversies and guide the reader carefully where Egyptologists cannot agree – whether it is the ruling dates of certain kings or the positioning of whole dynasties. A full chronology of major events, a cross-reference historical gazetteer, a list of pharaohs, rulers and presidents, a bibliography, index and historical maps, will add to its accessibility, and afford it the most useful elements of a reference book.
