Wikitravel Press launches Cairo/Alexandria guide
The choice of destinations covered by our just-released guide, Cairo and Alexandria, are no coincidence: Alexandria will be hosting the Wikimania 2008 conference on July 17-19, and Wikitravel Press is proud to the official guidebook of the conference. We’ll be printing a special edition just for the conference and presenting conference attendees with free copies (while supplies last, so show up early!). Not only is the guidebook a great demonstration of how Mediawiki technology and an enthusiastic community can combine to create wonderful things, but we’re sure that the nexus of Wikimaniacs at the conference will propel the content of the guidebook to new heights. A special thanks to Delphine Ménard and the Mediawiki Foundation for their support.
If you’re not going to the conference, or you are going and want to read up a little before you go (always a good idea), you can order the Wikitravel Guide to Cairo and Alexandria online through our bookstore. The guide also covers the Egyptian capital Cairo, with a special supplement on the Pyramids at Giza, and includes both an Egyptian Arabic phrasebook as well as a detailed reference section of traveling to and around Egypt.
