Protests in Egypt: Five Links for Travelers
Travel Blog • Eva Holland • 02.03.11 | 3:14 PM ET
The protests in Egypt are entering their second week, and the flow of news stories, blog posts, links, tweets and video can be overwhelming. Here are five links, in case you’ve missed any of them:
- The AP has a round-up of the government travel warnings and cruise and tour cancellations that began cropping up late last week.
- Reuters has coverage of the evacuations of foreign nationals that began earlier this week.
- Al-Jazeera English has been live-blogging daily from Cairo, Alexandria and Suez—a must-read.
- Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish is another good resource.
- Finally, The Atlantic has a really well-done video compilation of the early days of the protests.

Thanks for the links! I am supposed to be in Egypt right now with my adventure/photography group and had to postpone/cancel the trip like so many. I hope Mubarak steps down immediately! Enough is enough and his stubbornness continues to take lives….

Thanks for the resources. Its terrible what’s happening out there. My thoughts go out to all the travellers and holidaymakers who are still in limbo.

Thank you, I was supposed to be in Egypt right now, but my fate decided in other way, so I was lucky to miss all this revolt!

I’ve heard several stories of people who just got back from Egypt or had their trip cancelled. These are great and helpful links for keeping up with what’s going on….thanks!
