"This photo was taken in Midan Tahrir ( from Tahrir square ) shortly after Mubarak had stepped down. It seems summarize the feeling all Egyptians wanting tourists to return to Egypt and feel welcome and safe here.
Get Mubarak to step down is just the first step for this country to freedom and democracy without tourism to support the economy, the process will be much harder and many people suffer now that their income has disappeared . Egyptians would like the world to see them as peaceful people and continue to travel here that the country is emerging from 30 years of military rule. We wait to see if in April, a traditional high season , sees the return of tourism and the confidence of international .
Now is a wonderful time to visit Egypt as the popular tourist sites are not crowded and you can enjoy great photo opportunities and queues shorter wait before the hordes return "
Thanks Sue Deegan for the photo
