The Egyptian Police

The Egyptian police have started following our truck a lot and escorting us to places. With our own armed police escorts we feel a bit like royalty. Some people on the truck don't like it, but the police are only being protective and want us to get everywhere safely. They are quite helpful too, when they can get us to understand what they are saying in Arabic.

We had our own personal guard doing some food shopping a couple of days ago. A little over the top I think, but quite funny. We were in a group of five and kept splitting up. He would radio his mates and some of them would try to find us. An undercover guy then tried to get us to go back in a group. It was quite amusing.

Egypt seems super safe. With tourist treatment like this, it certainly should be!
