In 1869, British explorer Richard Francis Burton became the first westerner to travel to Egypt. He documented his journey in a series of letters, which were later published as a book, "How to Watch Egypt with the World’s Greatest Explorer."
Burton’s account is full of fascinating observations about the people, places and culture of Egypt. He describes the country as a land of contrasts, where ancient traditions coexist with modernity. He also offers advice on how to best experience all that Egypt has to offer.
If you’re planning a trip to Egypt, or simply want to armchair travel to this fascinating country, Burton’s book is a must-read.
