Unsere Sprachschule in Kairo informiert über die aktuelle Lage in Kairo:
Current situation in Egypt – April 28th 2011
Last month we were informed that some students are still worried by the media and unsure if they should come to Egypt. The media always exaggerates to make their articles more interesting and even embassy announcements are not always up to date. That is why I decided to drop you a few lines on the current situation in Cairo (28 of April 2011).
Cairo is calm. Most of our students and diplomats who left Cairo during the revolution time came back after Mubarak’s resignation. The daily life is back to normal. People are going to work every day, schools and universities are open, as well as shops and amusement centers. During weekends our students are going to clubs in Zamalek (the foreigners favourite part of Cairo) or are getting a of bit of suntan in one of the Egyptian sea resorts like Alexandria, Sharm El Shaikh, Hurgada or Sokhna. Most of the tourist areas and sites have reopened, so our students are taking the maximum advantage of their visit in Egypt before the crowds of tourists come back.
