What is one country that you will never visit again? Egypt. Cairo looks slash is a war zone.

Turrets on street corners, tanks, soldiers with automatic weapons everywhere.

We had an armed police officer on the tour bus, Road Scholar, and nothing against them they are a great company to travel with, a police escort everywhere.

Bomb dogs, a guy with a mirror

looking under the bus for bombs. Cairo is dirty, littered, and the poverty is staggering. The food

was mad at best as we could not travel outside the hotel or tour path to eat. It was blisteringly hot.

The camel guys at the pyramids were mean to all of the women and the animals with children working there as well.

The Egyptian Museum was a disgrace to the country.

Poorly organized, bad labels, no security, priceless textiles, parchments, leathers, etc.

jumbled in cases exposed to the air, heat, hands, no AC.

The only thing well cared for and secured were

Tutankhamen's artifacts.

It's a spectacular resource and collection and so badly cared for.

With no curation, the new ones just opened.

I sure hope it's better.

Once you've seen one temple, one hieroglyphic, you've truly seen them all. It's all about tourist money

and the street vendors were relentless and scary. Even on a nice open boat ride down the Nile,

kids paddled up to the boat on wooden doors selling cheap crap or just begging. Never again.

And I did not want to go to Egypt ever because I thought the scarab beetles actually crawled under your skin and killed you.

No offense, but screw the Bahamas. It's a tourist trap and not a very good one at that.

More like a third world country trying to play a
