Enjoy the forum. One of the mods will be along shortly with a welcome pack for new members.
Can't say I'd be courageous enough to live in the middle east these days. Hell, I'm not sure I'd go anywhere near the region if someone gave me a all expenses paid vacation there, except, maybe, if it involved getting to go dig up fossils. Yep, I'm an absolute geek about the fossil record, and I know Egypt has some astounding fossil sites.

I don't think it isn't dangerous in Egypt at all (a lot of press sensationalism in my opinion) and definitely worth a visit to the "Valley of the Whales" in Fayoum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi_Al-Hitan) for fossils. Unfortunately I can't offer you the all expenses paid vacation there!
