I chose this article because it speaks about Revolution and as I am a good French guy I love Revolution ;-)

This article is talking about the tourist situation in Egypt during the revolution.

The author explains that tourists are encouraged by authorities to continue to come for holidays in Egypt as normal but the political situation is getting more and more complicated.

In this article some tourists give testimonies about their holidays in Sharm el-Sheikh resort:

- A Norwegian tourist explains that he is not going out the hotel even if he is far from Cairo.

- Others tourists are worried because they are unable to give news to their families in Europe because mobile networks don't work.

- Some are disappointed because they can't go for excursions in Cairo or because bars are too quite or closed.

As a conclusion a tourist explains that life continues and that holiday must go on. He hopes that the political situation is not going to damage tourist economy.

This article is quite amazing but funny ! It is so strange to read the little problems of tourists when you think about the Egyptian people situation. These tourists are really in a bubble completely disconnected from the country where they are.
