Book Reviews of Egypt - Culture Smart!: a quick guide to customs and etiquette (Culture Smart!)
Book Review: Superb introduction to egypt and its people
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a guide book - it's not about places, good restaurants and value hotels.
This is about the people of Egypt, their history, their culture and how they think.
As such, it is a much more interesting read than any guide book.
