These days news in Egypt is rising higher than ever. Travel agents are having a hard time dealing with those who want to travel to Egypt to see the marvelous pyramids. Recently, it is said that hot spots of Egypt have been turned into a field of battle making tourists cancel trips. Therefore, it makes it harder on travel agents because they are losing profit from trips. They are, however, giving different options for travelers to consider. The tour companies are extending tour dates until march if there are still people who are interested in going for credit plus and 10 percent discount on the tour. For those that do not want to go, they will get their money fully refunded back. This only applies to those who have bought insurance, to those that have not bought insurance for the trip is discounted because they are now considered a “forseeable event”.

Tours are always occurring around the world and to travel to Egypt would be nice but hearing about the latest news, is not such a bright idea. Egypt is not doing so hot economically so to go there while they still have issues would cause more problems. Making good traveling choices and not attending the Egypt tours are a safe bound for now because if anything goes wrong on the tour not only is the traveler in trouble but it can cause problems for the companies as well. Therefore, before going on a trip make sure to research what is going on in the country and buy insurance so that you won’t lose a ton of money. Travel wise!
