I am going to be in Egypt for eight days in mid-July. So far my only plans are to check out the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and take a day trip out to the Giza Pyramids. I'm estimating 4 days for exploring Cairo and doing those activities. Alexandria is suppose to be only a short train ride away but I'm not sure what it has to offer. Also, I kind of wanted to check out the beach cities like Dahab in the Sinai area but according to various travel advisories (
http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-c...w/Advice/Egypt) there is a high risk of terrorism in this area as well as the rest of Egypt. This information has me a but nervous. In addition to that I just read on CNN there have been protests due to rising food prices in Egypt as well. Should I be fearful of these alerts?
thanks
Eric
