I guess they did not get the memo.

What the Hell are two American tourists doing in Egypt.

Are they terminally stupid?

Maybe this is just their way of thanking the US and Obama for the Arab Spring.

I would love to see the history in Egypt. Who would be idiotic enough to go there now? Don’t they read the news?

Unfortunately, what was once a pretty safe country to live, has become the Islamic wild-west. The Sharm El-Sheik area “was” a very tourist trendy place to hang out. It was, prior to the deposing of Mubarak a place where thousands of western tourists came to enjoy the beaches and fantastic diving. The Bedouin have long been the criminal smugglers in the Sinai. Under Mubarak, there were some sizable marijuana grow ops busted in the valleys of the Sinai mountains. No more Mubarak, no tourism and no rule of law. I am an American living in Jordan, which is very safe. that being said, when the “one” removed forces in December, a sizable group of Airborne and SF folks flew from western Anbar in Iraq, straight to the eastern base of Mafraq Jordan, where they are deployed along the Syrian border, along with some Patriot “type” launchers.. The entire ME region is wound up pretty tight these days. The results when it does fly loose will be interesting....

and there is nothing so invigorating and relaxing as spending your vacation in the Sinai peninsula....

almost as much fun as vacationing in Iraq and just taking a happy little stroll into Iran....

Vacation in Egypt?

More like a “Watch this ya’ll.” moment.

Why would any idiot tourist go to Egypt? Let their tourism drop to zero. Serves them right.

Gunmen in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula kidnapped two American women on Friday in an apparent attempt to hold them for ransom...

...and a little bit of hanky-panky.
