Egypt puts a stop to tourist convoys
Posted: December 7th, 2008
In the wake of the 1997 attack at the Temple of Hatshepsut in Luxor, the Egyptian government obliged all foreigners travelling overland between the country’s main tourist centres to join armed convoys. This visible security was intended to dissuade attacks and reassure visitors, but it has long outlived its usefulness.
Not true! Cars with tourists
Not true! Cars with tourists are still not allowed from the Red Sea and go to Luxor without a convoy and without an official permission from the receiving Egyptian tour company. There is too much money in this business and too many Egyptian politicians involved in the companies arranging the trips.www.vakantiereizenegypte.nl the dutch travelsite about Egypt
