Pretty much exactly the reason I won't see the pyramids, a shame really because I find ancient Egypt fascinating and would love to see the ruins.
I could say the same thing about China, possibly the oldest culture on the planet and lots of cool stuff to see, but I would be uncomfortable with the political environment.
Besides there is plenty of cool historical stuff in Europe and the UK we have yet to see.
