Hi all. Need some guidance. We are trying to assess specifics on the security ( ie an armed guard) while in Egypt and Jordan. Is there always an armed guard with the group on the bus? At the sites? On the Nile cruise? Airport, etc? Does the same guard travel with the group? Trying to decide between 2 tour operators for this itinerary, with one being more extensive (28 days), and it will really come down to security provided . Does anyone think, with this in mind, is there an advantage traveling with a small group in lieu of a classic Tauck tour?
Thank you all in advance. I know this topic has come up before, but aside from people saying that they feel safe and there is a guard with a pistol, and metal detectors at many sites, we wondered specifically how this is handled.
