From desert safaris and diving on coral reefs to biblical sites and beach side bars, this guide captures all of the Red Sea Coast's major attractions and more. Small in size and big on content, the guide is packed with expert practical advice and reliable recommendations yet, unlike many pocket guides, this little gem actually does fit into a pocket. The 'What to See' section provides comprehensive coverage of the coast's attractions including Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada and Mount Sinai as well as the Gulf of Suez and down to Marsa Alam and the far south. The 'What to Do' section helps you plan your leisure time where a typical day could include a tranquil scuba-dive on a beautiful coral reef, an adventurous 4x4 safari into the desert wilderness and an exhilarating windsurfing lesson on the turquoise seas, all topped off by dancing the night away in a beachside club. Other highlights include an A-Z of travel tips, language tips and translations, recommended hotel and restaurant listings and top ten attractions highlighted on a dedicated, double-page spread capturing everything that visitors really shouldn't miss.
Colour photography throughout the book provides a highly visual introduction to the destination and practical advice and cultural tips are clearly highlighted to help travellers get to the heart of the destination. Written by Egypt specialist, Chris Bradley, this title is a welcome addition to the best-selling Berlitz Pocket Guide range.
