An indication of size

Again, only a part of the pyramid in the picture. The white-clad man in the picture was a member of the "Tourist and Antiquities Police." All of them armed - usually with AK47s - they were everywhere. Because tourism is such a large amount of the Egyptian economy, the government spends a large amount of money and attention to security. We saw security patrols and guard posts everywhere. We also had at least one armed security guard dressed in civilian clothes on our bus at all times.
