Egypt After the Riots: Touring the Middle East After Arab Spring
What happens when your vacation plans are interrupted by a revolution?
Tom’s bucket list trip to the Middle East included his wandering overland through Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey before flying to Morocco. These plans drastically changed two days after he purchased his plane tickets in late January of 2011. The Egyptian revolution had begun.
Three months later, although demonstrations are still underway, commercial air travel has resumed and Tom finds himself on a nearly empty plane, one of the first to fly to Cairo after the revolution.
Join Tom as he journeys through a Middle East still in the throes of chaos, nearly devoid of western tourists. Walk with him as he encounters both grateful and resentful merchants, people both apathetic and cheerfully hopeful, incredibly helpful passersby and a gang of surly young men on a side street in Coptic Cairo.
This is a journal you won’t want to miss, an exciting tale told with humor and compassion. Buy this book and start reading today. You won’t regret it.
