Why I love the Lonely Planet (Egypt)

On Mt. Sinai:

If you decide to try a camel,* it's easier on the anatomy (especially if you're male) to ride up the mountain, rather than down.

On the Libyan border-crossing:

The border crossing point at Amsaad, just north of Halfaya Pass, is open 24 hours (sometimes even in a row).
