I was looking at the travel info for Egypt to keep myself abreast of things and noticed the above. You enter your personal info about where you are living or travelling abroad and they will keep you updated incase of emergencies.

LaptaMike: Is it wise to think about holidaying in a country where yesterday the Government tried to close down Facebook and Twitter - because of the spreading unrest (the "Tunesia Fever")..?

Hans, I booked a while ago, even before it went pear shaped in Tunisia.

My company has banned all travel to Egypt because of the trouble. I would keep away until the trouble quietens down.¨
