A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir John Gardner Wilkinson (1797-1875) expanded his Topography of Thebes and General View of Egypt (1835) into this two-volume guide of 1843. It not only gives advice for the contemporary traveller, but also provides modern readers with a vivid snapshot of Egypt in the mid-nineteenth century.
