FILE - In this Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012 file photo, Tourists ride in horse carriages past one of the Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt. The past month saw a drop in tourists to Egypt, scared off by scenes of protests and clashes over the constitution, in new pain to a crucial industry gutted the past two years by turmoil. Tourism workers worry things wonât get any better even now that the charter has been passed: Egyptâs power struggles threaten to erupt into more unrest at any time, and some fear Islamists will eventually try to rein in alcohol and beach tourism.
