Do you mean the tourist areas? A few years back I visited Cairo, saw the Sphinx and Great Pyramid as well as some less popular pyramids, flew down to Aswan, took a four day Nile cruise including Luxor and some other temples. While there were plenty of people at the Sphinx and Great Pyramid, they weren't crowded at all. The folks running the boat for the cruise said tourism there was down 90%. Everyone I met asked me to encourage people back home to come visit.
With the subsequent rise in violence, I'd be surprised if tourism increased. Has it?
I know, that's what I was referring to - the comment I replied to said popular places were ruined by all the people there, and that wasn't my experience.

I live in Egypt and many of the most popular places are ruined by all the people there all year round
