Temples like Philae was central to life in ancient Egypt. But of course they are also central to economical life here today because tourism is normally one of the country’s largest industries. But in recent years, terrorists’ attacks on foreign tourists and violent political protests since the revolution in 2011 mean tourists’ numbers have plummeted. There are Gods everywhere here. We have got the Gods following us around at a time and there are Gods at all of the major tourists’ sites here now. Egypt can not afford to have another terrorist attack on visitors to the country. Taking the train. It was the time to head north, so we were off to Cairo. I wascatching an overnight train and having plenty of companies. We have got extraordinary entourage with us, endless layers of security, local security, regional security, train security and now also seem to have a secret policeman with us, below with some machineguns under their jackets, partly to protect us and partly to control us and keep an eye on us. Egypt is a difficult country to film. I find extraordinary about the situation here is several years now after the revolution Egypt is back where it’s basically always been with military in control of national life.
