Foreign tourists take photographs with a Bedouin near the Dakhla oasis in Egypt's Western Desert, some 900 km southwest from Cairo, September 24, 2008. Kidnappers who snatched European tourists in Egypt's desert last week exploited a weak spot in Cairo's security network, but the kidnapping is unlikely to herald a return to Islamist militant attacks on tourists. Egypt's state news agency MENA reported that the tourists had spent the night of Sept. 16 in a hotel in the Dakhla oasis before heading out toward the Gilf al-Kebir national reserve.

Foreign tourists watch sunrise near Dakhla oasis in Egypt's Western Desert, some 900 km (559 miles) southwest of Cairo, early September 25, 2008. Sudan said on Wednesday 19 hostages seized in the Sahara last week are alive and well, as Sudanese and Egyptian security forces watch from a distance, avoiding a showdown that might result in loss of life. Four or five masked men kidnapped the adventure tourists -- five Germans, five Italians, a Romanian and eight Egyptians -- last week while they were on a desert safari from the Egyptian oasis of Dakhla to the Gilf al-Kabir plateau in the desert.
