A "Trip" to Ancient Egypt

What a fun way to learn more about Ancient Egypt! This book is written as if you were living in Ancient times and planning a trip to Egypt during the reign of Ramesses II, around 1250 BC.It is written in the style of a travel guide, with information on practicalities, getting around, where to stay, food and drink, and what to do if you get sick.Like all good guidebooks, there is information on the best souvenirs to get(papyrus sandals, amulets, and scarabs)and where to find the best entertainment. And of course there is lots of information on the top sights: the Great Pyramids, the Step Pyramids, the sights of Memphis, the Valley of Kings and Tomb Art at Thebes, and the sights of Nubia.At the front is a fold-out map of the entire region so you won't get lost. "Tourists tips" are scattered throughout the book. A very entertaining way to learn history!
