Although the premise is the same the movie very much strays from the book. For example, how the group actually come to search for the lost city, how they get there. The colour of Ayesha's hair is black in the book and very Egyptian but in the film she is a blonde! And the Egyptain link is played down. If you are after a movie version of the book this is not it!
But as a film in its own right it does have its attractions (notably Ursula Andress). Fairly typical 1960s fare.
You could be cynical and suggest that this is an answer to 20th Century Fox's Cleopatra, although very much shorter of course.
