Surveillance of the Star Magic group has reached unprecedented levels in Aswan - they're now being tracked by army personnel, international police, national police, local police, and plain-clothes officers. All because someone reported them for "healing people in Egypt" - which turns out to be illegal here.
Jerry Sergeant finally revealed why he believes the group is under such intense scrutiny: Egypt strictly controls spiritual practices at ancient sites. A simple market trip turned surreal with 15+ armed officers following the tour group. The escalation has been dramatic - from basic monitoring in Cairo to what now feels like a full military operation.
Even browsing tourist shops and taking boat trips now comes with an armed escort. Picture this: tourists shopping for crystals and oils while surrounded by assault rifles and secret service-style surveillance. According to Jerry, their light language and activations fall into a "grey area" officials can't quite categorize as meditation, prayer, or ritual.
Caught on camera: officers debating whether to stop my filming - in a regular tourist market! This story has evolved beyond covering a spiritual tour into documentation of something far more significant. From Cairo to Luxor to Aswan, I've witnessed an extraordinary escalation of control.
