The tourists have scattered money

Even the dance of the dervishesS an
old religious rite, is only given now
for the profit derived from specta-
tors paying to see the exhibition.
Residents along the Nile found they
could make more money by logging
the footsteps of sightseers than by
attending to their work. Consequent
ly many of them who were formerly
industrious have become worthless
vagabonds. The Egyptian government
has posted notices everywhere re-
