Permissions to the Sand Sea
Dear Andrasz,
Thank you for your opinion. It was the answer I expected. The most important for the governement is that tourism at the Red Sea and Nile Valley will not be affected. They make millions of income out of it and can easily renounce to the some thousands they made out of the permissions and the so called officers they sent on each trip. Comparing to the main tourism areas this are just peanuts. I'm only sorry for all who plan to do trips to the Gilf and for the tour operators who are depending on this income (specially at this moment when the high season is starting).
Also about the logic I completly agree with you...there is no logic in whole Egypt..I was living 5yrs in Cairo so anything will be possible.
Would you be so kind to inform me about any news concerning the permissions (I guess you are planing trips too in the coming months). You may contact me also outside the forum at saharagems Aattt yahoo com
Thanks again.
Regards,
Thomas
