egypt 2013
We had an awesome visit to Egypt in July 2013. It was a unique time to visit Egypt. The military had recently removed President Morsi from office. The unrest in the country caused governments (Canada included) to warn against travel to Egypt. Combine this with summer heat (up to 110 F) and Ramadan and the result was virtually no tourists. It was a photographer’s dream to get photos without a single tourist in the frame. However, it was very sad for the tourism industry and the resulting hardship on those Egyptians that earn their living from tourism.
