Egypt - Nile Valley & Red Sea in the Thematic Destinations series from Footprint; exploring a range of varied worldwide destinations, designed and written for independent travellers who enjoy exploring off the beaten track. The guides are designed to provide an insight into particular themes of a destination rather than the country as a whole, and as such are recommended for those seeking to explore some of the most distinctive features of a destination. A wide range of natural themes are explored, including islands and beaches, mountains, valleys and coastlines.

Each guide in the series has a similar layout, exploring a range of thematic sights and activities in addition to a range of features on local life, history and customs. An introductory section profiles the region, with an overview of the area, the best experiences available, a month by month planner and how the destination has inspired screen and novels. A more detailed chapter ‘about the region’ provides a comprehensive survey of history, culture, heritage, the region today, nature and environment, festivals and events, sleeping, eating and drinking, entertainment, shopping and suggested local activities and tours.

The guides are organized geographically with dedicated sections for each region. Complete listings are provided with details of sleeping, eating, entertainment, shopping, activities and tours. Various information boxes give local insider tips and an overview of the essential information needed to explore the area. The author also includes a range of features exploring notable sites, local culture and history and where to find genuine local cuisine.

A ‘Practicalities’ chapter also provides useful information on getting there and around, children, customs, disabled travelers, electricity, embassies and consulates, gay and lesbian travelers, health, useful websites, insurance, media, money, opening hours, safety, tourist police, telephones, time, tipping, tour operators, visas and immigration and volunteering.
