[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited Egypt a couple of summers ago.  We didn't visit Sharm or Luxor but we hired Abercrombie and Kent for the entire duration.  Our guide and driver met us at the plane and we drove straight to Alexandria. We also had an armed off duty officer with us as well (the government typically provides this for US tourists that book their travel with a company like A&K). Stayed at FS Alexandria in a villa right on the Med and it was stunning.  Amazing catacombs and history.  Drove back to FS Cairo Nile Plaza and toured there for a few days.   You can cater as little as much of your day with A&K.  We split days both touring and by the pool/beach so it wasn't nonstop sightseeing.

Amazing, memorable trip! Definitely recommend.[/quote]

Yes definitely want to visit somewhere where you need a personal ARMED GUARD [/quote]

Stay scared. We love the Middle East.  It is a beautiful part of the world with beautiful people. Narrow minded people like you aren’t needed there. [/quote]

NP. I don’t understand. Didn’t you have an armed guard because you were scared? If you weren’t scared, why did you need an armed guard? [/quote] Didn’t ask for one nor we ever scared. Never once. They assigned someone to us, which our guide explained is a common occurrence the government does with certain companies. We have travelled to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and the UAE. These are amazing countries that many of you are missing out on experiencing.  You live in the USA. You certainly don’t need to be scared visiting most other countries. [/quote]
