Egypt safaris continue

September 25, 2008

Tourists continue to set out on desert safaris in Egypt's western desert despite the recent kidnap of a tour group in the region. Latest reports suggested the 19 hostages seized in Egypt a few days ago while on an adventure safari may have been moved to Libya. A Sudanese government spokesman said the group of kidnappers along with the tourists and their Egyptian companions had moved just across the Libyan border.
