Hello!, and Thanx for your Further Thots and Observations on Egypt! Guys like al Zawahiri Notwithstanding, -Much of Egypt is a Matter of *Not* having to Worry so Much about Terrorism and Such! Not Entirely, now, as I'm Sure you also Feel. But Egypt is Generally a Quieter Country, in many of those Regards. Some Other Arab / Mideastern / Islamic Countries are Plenty Dicier and Worse!

There's also an Excellent Book on Saharan Overland Travel!, by Chris Scott! I'm Sorry that the Title Escapes me at the Moment, but I Think it's "Sahara Overland" or something Similar. And I Think it's Put Out by Trailblazer, Oddysey, or Somebody. It's a Large Sized Paperback, and Mostly Tannish Brown. It is Current. And Chock Full of Sahara and Saharan Desert Travel Information! Both Vehicular and On Foot! It Speaks Much and Well!, about Things like Driving in Sand! And Avoiding Sand and Getting Out of Sand Jams! Among So Much Else! There's Beautiful Full Color Photo Spreads of Areas in the Sahara, as Well!

You Shud be Able to Find it thru "Borders", and Maybe "Barnes and Noble" Places like Amazon may Bear Fruit here for you, as Well!

I Made some Good Look Thrus of it at one of my Local Borders. Presently it's Not There. I've Seen it Come and Go Several Times already. Someone Else has Bought this Superb Book! I'll either See it Around Again!, -or Go the Ordering Route with them!

I can Only Very, Very Highly Recommend it!!!
