Very true. However, Egypt's economy desperately needs tourists to survive, so preservation & restoration of their historical sites is a high priority. Sudan hasn't developed that part of their economy at all. Egypt gets more tourists in a day than Sudan gets in more than a month. While its great to be able to explore somewhere unspoiled by tourism, I also saw the other side of the coin. The country has severe fuel shortages, lots of people living in poverty, etc.
