Thought I would share a picture of my AB on a Sphinx at Karnak while I was in Egypt in June 2008. I received the AB in late May 08.
Are you salivating yet?

Re: Even Sphinxes Like AB's
Hi! I was there in June 2008 and it was a fantastic trip. The people are incredibly friendly. While many of them do not agree with American politics or religion, they are more than friendly to the tourists as they know they are there simply to visit their country and not to talk politics, etc. I was in a private tour group with my family. I did not feel in danger at all (well, except maybe the one time I wandered away and got lost down a back alley in Cairo... talk about an experience, but even then I didn't feel as if I was in that much danger). I spent about 3 weeks over there and went to nearly all parts of the country. There was an explosion in Cairo yesterday (I was in the same place it happened), but that was the first attack in Cairo in a few years. We did have an armed guard with us for parts of the trip when we were driving through LONNNNNNG stretches of open desert, but even then I didn't feel like I was in danger.
