Security office on duty near the Abu Simbel temple in south Egypt

Security in Egypt is a big factor for ensuring that the tourism industry remains strong, although the recent political turmoil in the country has already hit the tourism industry. During the past 2 decades, there were terror attacks on tourists in the country, leading to the deaths of many tourists, and these had a pretty bad impact on tourism. As a result, there was a lot more focus on ensuring that tourists are safe, with tourism police being setup at all tourist locations.
