State of Tourism: "It's Bad"

Things aren't looking good for Egypt: the article quotes Antiquities Minister Muhammed Ibrahim as lamenting the loss of tourists to the daily protests and social actions.  Numbers of visitors to the Pyramids and the Temple at Abu Simbel are far below their usual count at this point in the year, and under fifty people visited the city of Alexandria this past week.

It's confirmation that now really is the time to go to Egypt.  Almost makes me want to bail on Christmas and just hop on a flight.....
