The first site this month carries the title Egypt
– Land of Eternity. Overall, this nice site is well
organized and easy to navigate. The only problem I have with it is
that it’s rather dark and therefore some images and links are
hard to see. Egypt Land of Eternity offers information on topics
such as tombs, kings and queens, monuments, and death and the
afterlife. This site offers a different sort of information on the
kings and queens of Egypt that I find interesting and innovative.
Instead of the normal, much seen historical information, they show
the hieroglyphs for each of the kings and queens, categorized by
dynasty. Egypt – Land of Eternity is an interesting site that
deserves a visit.
Next, this month is a thinkquest site called Egypt,
An Ancient Culture Revives. This well-done site offers a lot
of clear, concise information. I am sure that much time went into
this attractive, organized site. The background color is good
making the print easy to read and there are a good number of
graphics throughout the site. The index is at the top of each page
making navigation extremely easy. The information offered on this
site includes sections on architecture, people, customs and
archaeology. Real Video is also offered on some of the pages.
There is also a section called Funzone, which includes puzzles and
a quiz that would be great for children. Allow some time for this
worthwhile site and don’t forget to check the additional
information offered on the left-side menu.
Egyptian
Express is the third site this month. Egyptian Express is a
travel company’s web site and I think it deserves some
attention. This is a simple, yet elegant, site. The background
color and graphics are very nice and understated – they do not
overwhelm the viewer. The print is fairly large and easy to read.
Egyptian Express is easy to navigate with a menu at the bottom of
each page. There are some pictures offered throughout the site as
well. Egyptian Express offers detailed information on their tours
and a page on their rates and terms that is very specific and easy
to understand. There is also a page titled Useful Information,
which is, in fact, very useful for someone wishing to travel to
Egypt. It includes information on things such as health,
photography, clothing and food. Even if you are not planning on
travel to Egypt this site is worth a visit.
