Meanwhile, the travel group Abercrombie & Kent is giving 50% discounts of their tours to Egypt. At least when I looked last week. Might be 75% off by now!
I read in the WSJ this morning that a weeklong US trade mission to Egypt was just finishing up yesterday afternoon. It featured something like 100 American businessmen looking into investment in Egypt. Talk about bad timing.
I visited Egypt in February... glad I got there before the place went to Hell. The tour company I went with had only one more tour after mine; the rest of the scheduled tours were cancelled. My group only had 15 people, and we shared the boat with a group of 14 Brits. 29 of us on a boat that holds 175.
