Reseña del libro "Sheila's Guide to Egypt Desert Travel (en Inglés)"
Did you know that desert covers 98% of Egypt's Land? Travels With Sheila first experience in Egypt's vast desert expanse was in 1984, as a neophyte camper and explorer who didn't have a clue what "desert" (or camping) involved. Why would she, growing up in Chicago? Five days was spent touring the deserted Sinai Peninsula. The Sinai had been returned to Egypt two years prior and there wasn't a tourist, hotel or even rudimentary facilities to be seen anywhere for thousands of miles. She climbed Mount Sinai at dawn, and slept in the sand with Bedouin drivers and a large group of adventurous tourists. It was exciting. Fast forward to 2012. Sheila and husband, Steve (often known as the ex-Marine even through there is no thing as an ex-Marine) have now traveled extensively through the Western Desert and Eastern Desert visiting amazing sights. In other words? Been there...done it. This Guide will give information about Siwa, Bahariya, Dakhla and Kharga Oases; other desert excursions easily accomplished from Cairo; and still relevant "must-dos" in the Sinai Peninsula omitting beach and diving facts easily found on the Internet. Navigating Cairo International Airport, desert hotels, camping, and what to miss (not everything is perfect) will also be found inside this Guide. Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel the World on a Budget, share exotic locations known only to locals, and most importantly, ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy.
