Our representative in Egypt reports that American travelers are returning to fully restored services in Egypt’s tourist areas. All archaeological sites have reopened and Nile boats, hotels and ground services have resumed full operation. The first travelers to return are reporting extremely hospitable welcomes with higher than normal levels of service. Most boats and hotels are operating as previously, though with relatively fewer tourists. No facilities suffered any damage during the government overthrow. The U.S. State Department downgraded its travel warning to Egypt this week, urging U.S. citizens to consider the risks rather than avoid all nonessential travel. Most employees of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo have returned, the State Department reported, and the embassy is resuming normal operations.  The Department of State indicated that popular tourism destinations in the country, such as Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea resorts, are calm. If you are prepared to visit Egypt on short notice to take advantage of an extraordinarily joyous and uncrowded experience, call for suggestions.  If you are considering re-instating a postponed or long-anticipated trip now is the time to make your reservations.
