The unrest in Egypt continues. I hope that Egyptians will find a peaceful and prosperous way in the future.

I wish all the best in achieving their own souvereignty as peacefully united people as well. May it be without pains during the process.

I wish the best for Egypt. We'll see how this continuing drama plays out over time.

While people can still go to visit Egypt I am glad that I spent the month there in December 2009 not long before all the current big unrest started a few months later.

I'm a little worried that the tourism will suffer quite potentially with the latest events in Egypt...

It's one of my would-be-first destinations for future travelling. I wish to see the land and the ancient remains with a gracefully good camera and lens set and return with authentic and rich memories.

I just hope things peacefully work out very, very soon. They deserve the best...like many other nations and people suffering in irrational conditions.

"There is a risk of terrorist attacks. There should be particular caution in the region bordering the Gaza Strip, in Cairo and Alexandria," it said.

In December 2009 I spent many hours walking alone all around Cairo outside of tourist areas. I am glad I went when I did.

Very unfortunate and worrying developments in Egypt... Sad to witness.

Very interesting links Henry. Nice to see some news of a more positive nature from Egypt.

Yes, that is why I posted. My month in Egypt in December 2009 was very interesting. I hope the Egyptians get some of their troubles behind them soon.
