avoid it.......2007-05-06

The "Lonely Planet" series doesn't have a stand-alone guide for Bahrain. Instead, the closest they offer is one called "Lonely Planet Bahrain, Kuwait & Qatar" (ISBN-13: 978-1864501322).

Nevertheless, I would recommend that you get that one. The thing is, you'd better do it before you go to Bahrain, because -- a little shockingly -- that triptych Lonely Planet guide is evidently banned in Bahrain (it's never carried in any of the island's handful of bookshops). This might be because that version clarifies certain unsavory details about the royal family, but who knows.

Which leaves us with the one you see on this page, the "Complete Explorer's Guide to Bahrain."

I should warn you that this book was evidently made with cooperation from the government of Bahrain (the precise extent of official assistance is murky), so it contains not a single negative statement about Bahrain or Bahraini culture. And as for sections such as, "What to do if you're caught with drugs," or "Gay Bahrain," you can totally forget it.

In other words, we learn that everything is great in Bahrain, according to this guide. There are millions of things to do, everybody's friendly, nothing untoward ever happens, and the rulers are munificient and benign. The only thing left is to give you -- on slick, colorful pages -- the phone numbers of and directions to the many hotels and restaurants on the island.

For this latter purpose, however, even I must admit the guide is quite serviceable.

Something else which is sure to annoy you: the book's self-references seem all slightly off. It'll refer you to page 185, say, and you'll find that the information you're looking for is two or three pages either side of that. Same thing with the index: the references are mispaginated in slight but irregular ways. The whole thing smells of having been rushed to press.

As a final irritant, the entire volume is interlarded with advertisements from various restaurants, hotels, car dealerships, etc.

A humorous and revealing guide .......2006-08-04

This succinct, highly readable guide to understanding Israeli culture and dealing with Israelis in business and social contexts makes observations solidly supported by academic research on the subject. Topics range from negotiating with Israelis to hot-button issues like religion and politics. The bibliography of books and Internet sites provides additional resources for those who want to know more. A must-read for Americans seeking successful intercultural communication with Israelis, whether in the U.S. or Israel.

Useful and Informative.......2000-10-12

I had originally purchased this book to use for a school project. While the book was extremely useful for my Human Resources class, I also found the issues and topics presented in the book to be of great interest. This book is easy reading, short and to the point.

Book Description

Described by The New York Times as indispenable, Cairo: The Practical Guide fills a vital niche for expatriates and Cairenes alike. Revised and updated for 2000, the Guide includes a cornucopia of facts on prices, neighborhoods, schools, work and business opportunities, and cultural pursuits. Formatted to address the needs of independently minded tourists as well as residents, this edition features an alphabetical directory of goods, services, and interests subdivided by neighborhood; a language section on the basics of Cairene Arabic; details on shopping and sightseeing from a residents perspective; and a separate map booklet.

"indespensable"?????.......2007-01-21

this book may be indispensable for expatriots or foreign workers living in cairo but is not valuable for tourism purposes. a general travel guide will provide much more vital info for the short term visitor.

All the Nuts & Bolts!.......2006-11-03

If you're a tourist, this book may not be for you. HOWEVER, if you will be in Cairo for any time, for any reason, you will need this book! It is the best compilation of grassroots information - it covers things not covered by the usual travel guides. I just wish it had some city maps in it!

Invaluable Resource if You're Moving to Egypt.......2003-08-18

I was offered a job in Egypt in 2000 and purchased the 2000 version of "Cairo: The Practical Guide." It was, as the title said, full of practical information about living in Cairo. It was a great resource as I prepared to relocate and I referred back to it many times over my two years there. It had everything from the skinny on the different parts of town to how to deal with tipping and lots in between. This book has the sort of stuff about everyday life that you won't find in tourist guide books. The accompanying book of maps (sold separately) was also very useful.

Moving to Cairo? This is a must-read.......2000-03-31

This book is not your average "here's-how-to-get-to-pyramids" guide book to Egypt, nor is it intended to be. This is a book specifically for individuals and families moving to Cairo for an extended period who have not spent time in Middle Eastern, African or other second-tier countries whose citizenry has a different "walterschaaung" or worldview. Listing this guidebook in the travel guide section is wide of the mark; this is a survival guide for ex-patriots to one of the most historic and culturally unsual (from a Western perspective) place on the planet. Thousands of survival tips are given, such as which kinds of cheeses to select, where to find and what to pay a housekeeper, where to find fresh meat, which mall has a Baskins-Robbins, which neighborhood would best suit the new arrival, and a pretty good chapter on survival Arabic. The writing style, like this guide, is not sugar-coated but directly sparse, defoliated and easy to read and remember. I would pack this book along with several other guidebooks if you are planning an extended (more than a few days) stay in Cairo. While world-romping tourists could probably live without this guide, the expat would find it indispensible. Chances are, though, a new guide book edition (the 10th) is already headed toward the American University in Cairo Press.

This revision is awful.......1999-09-12

The previous edition of this book, edited by Cassandra Vivian was far superior to this one. This edition is written for a single audience-wealthy married with children embassy types-and ignores the wide variety of other foreigners who wind up in Cairo. It is highly idiosyncratic in its views and leaves out whole areas of information that were covered in the previous edition. My old edition fell apart and I threw it away thinking the new edition would replace it, and now I am kicking myself for doing so.
