What I meant by too late for me to go to Egypt was not all about the political climate there. I am 75 years old and while my health is good, I have quite a few dietary problems that I doubt I could be in control of on a trip like that.
50 years ago my mother in law invited me to go to Egypt with her, we had been to Europe, England, Scotland and Ireland together and had a fine time. But then she uninvited me and went alone.
Understood, and yes, dietary requirements would be a challenge over there.
