> If you have your heart set on seeing the Pyramids but get frustrated at the Egyptian visa process, are you really willing to settle for, say, Lebanon? No, but I'm probably willing to settle for Germany or France. It's pretty rare for me to have my heart set on somewhere. There are many things I want to see, and if one country feels like being a pain in the neck, I'll just go see something else, or go somewhere to do something else. I'm not sure whether most tourists are more like me or more like the heart set on kind of folks. But, even assuming that they're of the heart set on kind, once you've seen the pyramids it's less likely to drag you back through the bothersome process again. One would imagine a bothersome process somewhat decreases your opportunity for repeat business.
