Does anyone have a recommendation for a travel book for Egypt. We are doing a Nile cruise but would love a book with more info.

I always like Rough Guides, and find they give a very thorough look at the countries. They have a new one for Egypt that just came out in late 2025.
Here is a thread from a couple of years ago that has some suggestions as well for that area: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/beyond-europe/egypt-guide-book-recommendations

You might look at Blue Guides. That series is not so much a travel guide for hotels restaurants etc but detail of history archeology and all that. They publish for many places including Egypt.

We successfully used Moon Egypt by Sarah Smierciak in 2024. Similar to the RS guides.
