"Death on the Nile" takes on a new aspect - cruise boats on the Nile have two guards posted on the stern rail equipped with a variety of automatic weaponry. We pass through the "hotbed" of Islamist fundamentalists and sympathetic Al-Qaeda in the area bordering on middle Egypt - the Egyptian government take their security very seriously with armed guards assigned continuously to our expedition. Tourism is the number one revenue source for this part of the world and they are serious about protection.
