Driving in Egypt along the Gulf of Aqaba, the 5 star resorts were deserted- a result of both the economy and the revolution which made travelers from other country fearful. At Mt Sinai, there were a tenth of the usual number of pilgrims that come to this biblical spot - which means hard times for local guides and camel drivers. We have not found it to be at all unsafe and hope tourism will come back as the country stabilizes it's new democracy.
