I have just read that Luxor is only handing out 6 month visa's again. This must make home and vehicle owners feel really insecure, and will once again hit them in the pocket. Pay twice for a visa, twice for car registration, twice for driving license, remember these only last the length of your visa. You sometimes get the impression that the Country does not want Europeans here at all. It surely cannot be for security purposes, because that would be a weak explanation, so is it because Europeans are no longer welcome?
Feel realły sorry for those that have invested in Luxor, they are the ones getting kicked in the teeth. I think many people will make changes to their lives and their insecurities will lead them away.
