americans who travel to egypt are automatically given tourist police as body guards...by the way, there was no emergency...i just wanted to see what would happen when i called...

fremont, i agree w/ u where i live, one time i called 911, an ambulance was at my house in 4 minutes

Sounds like the 911 systems in half of American cities.

I'm sorry , but did you just call to prove a point, or just to see what happened? If this was a serious call I am sorry help was not available for you. It could be their system is not as advanced as the ones from other countries, maybe they dont have the manpower to cover all the area. There could be many reasons for their incompetence.

You are shameless to call just for the fun of it when there are so many real life emergencies they have to handle. Instead of compalining why don't you devise a better system or how about volunteering your own body to fill in for those overworked ppl?! Complainers complain and the rest of us work on bettering our countries!

What was the big emergency? I guess your house is still there if you are able to get on the computer. BTW what are the tourist police?

first off why did you call 4 different sources of help within the time you spent waiting and dialling you could of probably sorted out the problem yourself

Where's your logic?
Did you really expect them to use the billions of dollars that you give them every year, (to buy their goodwill/friendship) to be spent on services? They are using that money to buy arms to be able to resist your 'other ally' in the Middle East, (you know, the paranoid ones) who you also give billions of dollars every year to buy arms.

I wonder if Al-Qeada hit the phone lines. Al-Qeada seems to be killing more Arabs then so called infidels.
