Tourism on Trial: In Egypt security problems have collapsed the tourism industry, one of the cornerstones of its economy. As radical Islamists push for strict regulations on tourists, Egypt's population is struggling.

The lack of tourist business has afflicted over 3.5 million people who depend on the traffic for their income. But while they had hoped that the end of the revolution would bring tourists back, there is now another threat looming on the horizon. It may sound bizarre, but the radical Islamist Salafists believe that tourists should only be able to see the pyramids through a veil of wax, arguing "there is a religious decree against keeping them as they are". Unfortunately for the tourist industry, they hold 25% of the seats in the new democratically elected parliament. Under the Salafists public displays of affection would also be banned, as would men and women swimming together. In fact, their decrees would probably force Egypt's most famous beach resort, Sharm El Sheik, to close down. But as tour operator Abdis Salaam says, those in the industry are braced for a fight: "We will stand up against them. We are prepared to create a new revolution if our livelihood is affected."

Islam is a tragedy

Arabs benefit from monuments they did not build...they are invaders to Africa....we need to divert the Nile

Its just a fact of life, where ever islam is implemented, life quality goes down and becomes dark and miserable and medieval. Compare muslim and non muslim states and see which one is the shit hole. No sane man would risk their life in an nutjob islamist country.

Economic collapse is a great victory for the Salafists. More desperate people willing to join them for a measly stipend. Allah is indeed great.

It's a pity, Egypt is a country with so much potential. Excellent weather, remarkable ancient relics, good amount of water from the nile to support high populations, amazing beaches, the gem of Africa and yet it's still closed off. Sucks for the youth, they have so much ambition to open up their country to the world yet the old religious folks won't have it.

Egypt is a world of the 1% where everyone else is entitled to nothing. If not for AK-47 toting people on every single corner, there would be no order at all. The poor are desperately poor and own nothing, subsiding off grain subsidies. It is the only way to run it. Islam is a cancer that keeps them in constant fear of reprisals.
