"Detailed guide to principal Egyptian monuments on each side of the Nile between Cairo and the Second Cataract at Wadi Halfah, with chapters on history, religion, writing & hieroglyphs, and recent (at that time) excavations. By famed Egyptologist Wallis Budge (1857-1934). Wallis Budge wrote this comprehensive and detailed guide to the Nile, its antiquities, excavations, history and topography at the suggestion of his friend, Thomas Cook, the pioneer of organised tourism and this book was given free of charge to all travellers on Cook's tourist steamers and dhahabiyyahs that plied the Nile between Cairo and Khartoum. It transcends the level of the usual tourist guide, however, and is a scholarly work in its own right that concisely encapsulates the author's vast expertise on the Nile and ancient and modern Egypt."
