tourists needed

1606: Despite the jubilation, there’s no doubt that nearly three weeks of protests have damaged Egypt’s economy, including the important tourism sector. Journalist Heba Elkayal tweets: Egyptian tweeps let’s get #come2Egypt trending by telling the world what you love about #Egypt. I’ll start: great beaches! RT please 🙂

Actually, I think Egypt pretty much advertises itself right now. Can there be a hotter tourist destination right now? Who won’t want to visit Tahrir Square? And once they’re done with Tahrir, they can see the Pyramids, the Khan al-Khalili, Luxor, and even go to Sharm el-Sheikh and honk outside Mubarak’s villa.
