After the Luxor massacre, Egypt should be off anyone’s “want to visit” list. But to the topic, the Egyptian military is not going to allow any Egyptian civilians to screw with its biggest cash cow.
Between dollars and Euro....there’s tons of cash flowing into Egypt on a daily basis. The entire nation is getting a piece of the action. I think the last thing you’d want to do....is mess this deal up. It’d be like allowing armed gangs to wander around Las Vegas, and let forty tourists a week to get whacked.
