    Increasing security makes Egypt SAFER and I think you will find more countries will be also increasing their security. The UK has just brought in exit passport checks.

    The more security a country has the safer it is to visit

    Jane,

    We visited Luxor flats in 2008 - not sure if you remember - btw, as far as you have heard, is it actually not taking effect until May 15 (I'm due in Cairo on Thursday for a short visit!)?
