Egypt & the Sudan: A Travel Survival Kit

For centuries, Egypt and the Sudan have attracted travellers from around the world. Although linked in history, culture, and economy by the river Nile, each has its unique people, land, and way of life.

From the Valley of the Kings and the graceful feluccas on the Nile to the hustle of Cairo and Luxor, you'll discover there is much more to Egypt than the spectacular pyramids and the enigmatic visage of the Sphinx.

The Sudan, the largest country in Africa, is seldom visited by outsiders. Most of the roads are mere tracks in the sand or mud, but those who have made it there rave about the tremendous generosity of Sudan's many Arab and African tribes and ethnic groups.

This guide takes you into and beyond the mosques, monuments, and main streets of both countries to meet the people and discover the unusual.
