I'm not sure that's wise, Jimbo, unless you've already checked with
the Egyptian authorities and gotten their approval for it. Egypt have
apparently this year arrested quite a few journalists in Egypt
investigating stories about violations of human rights in Egypt. For
your own personal safety, I suggest you don't do this.
