A History of Ancient Egypt by Marc Van de Mieroop is by far the best introductory overview of ancient Egyptian history. Since it's dry read, however, I recommend starting with Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs: A Popular History of Ancient Egypt and Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt by Barbara Mertz.

For readable introductions to the major archaeological sites in Egypt, see Exploring Ancient Egypt by Ian Shaw.

Jason Thompson's A History of Egypt: From Earliest Times to the Present and Egypt: A Short History by Robert Tignor are worth a read as well.
