South African tourists injured when their tour bus is bombed near the Pyramids in Egypt.

From the frying pan to the fire.

I’d like to visit Egypt some day, but doubt I will ever be that brave.
22 years ago. Ironically, at the Mortuary Temple of Hapshetsut.

Morocco is where the two young European females were recently killed while on vacation. It was considered the only “safe” place to visit in Africa.

Very sad.
Yeah they were killed near Mt. Toubkal base camp. We climbed Mt. Toubkal when we were there last and this was a shock to us since everyone in the nearby town of Imlil and the other villages seemed very nice. In fact, due to Morocco's past of being colonized by France and Spain it has a great European flair to it.

Now the homeless and vagrant ISIS sympathizers are terrorizing the tourist areas and making it a scary proposition to visit. I hope they get a handle on it because I would love to go back someday. Otherwise a very scenic, unique, and extraordinary country.
