Hot off the press from my Egyptian Pal: 'so far there are rumors, but the military commission running the country promised to dismiss this rule; and they actually did... but no legal papers or documents had been issued about this- until then they are still doing the same thing as usual...' Yep. That's Egypt! T

Got that wrong there Andy, that's "Welcome to Egypt" for you ... :censored:

Along the same lines, it was announced today that no more visas at the airport/border, everyone must obtain visas in advance.

travel restrictions for the Western Desert 2012 ???
 
hello

last winter* there was no change - restrictions as the year before:
1 military officer in our car
4 tourist policemen in a car with a driver
(our group of 4 persons did not pass the 23° N)

I wonder if things have changed this year :cool4:
Has someone current news?
