  1. Luxor Museum: Easily Egypt's best

    While Egypt has many of the world’s greatest ancient archeological sites, its museums are generally dreary. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, while old school, is world class simply by the brute magnificence of the treasures it displays. The Luxor Museum, made possible and designed by the people who brought us the Louvre in Paris, is the finest museum in the country. While it’s a fraction of the size of the big museum in Cairo, it offers more than enough ancient art and artifacts–all wonderfully displayed.

  4. Egypt president sees 'deep state' as enemy within

    CAIRO <strong>&mdash; </strong>President Mohamed Morsi casts himself as a leader navigating a landscape bristling with conspiracies by corrupt businessmen and shadowy figures plotting from inside a vast bureaucracy his Islamist inner circle has been unable to tame.

  5. A single day in Luxor

    There is a problem. With all this action, it&rsquo;s very tough for me to stop doing stuff long enough to write down what I&rsquo;ve been up to. Each day is jam-packed with vivid images and amazing experiences. Yesterday, we did a marathon sightseeing blitz of the tombs and temples of the west bank of the Nile&ndash;the dazzling necropolis where the sun sets and where, in pharaonic times, you buried your dead. Today was spent in Luxor on the east bank&ndash;where the sun rises and people live. Here&rsquo;s a quick review:

  6. Hagel calls claims of Syrian chemical weapons use only 'suspicions'

    CAIRO — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday described Israeli claims of Syrian chemical weapons use as unproven “suspicions” and declined to set a timeline for a U.S. assessment of the accusations. Hagel has instructed defense...

  7. I'm in Egypt, but am I in denial?

    It&rsquo;s poignant to be far from home &mdash; having fun and enjoying the people I&rsquo;m meeting &mdash; in a land regarded by some as a place where Christians are being killed and women being abused . . . and where the government tacitly approves of these atrocities. Christians and women may justifiably wonder whether it&rsquo;s safe &mdash; or even moral &mdash; to go to Egypt. Clearly, the alarming plight of Christians and women in Egypt can&rsquo;t be ignored. That&rsquo;s one reason why I&rsquo;m traveling here.

  8. And now for a woman traveler's take on women in Egypt

    Thanks so much for all your comments as you&rsquo;ve traveled along with me through Egypt. I&rsquo;m struck by how much apparent ill will there is against Egypt and how people think I&rsquo;m promoting aspects of Egypt that anger them. Egypt simply &ldquo;is.&rdquo; Rather than condemn or condone aspects of its culture, I&rsquo;m experiencing it. Being here (as a tourist with enough money for a guide and good hotel) is no less safe than being in America. I&rsquo;m loving it, but I would not personally take tours from my company here because it&rsquo;s a bit rough for my &ldquo;demographic.&rdquo; I can hardly wait to return with my film crew next season.

  9. Luxor: The City of Palaces

    Luxor is an hour&rsquo;s flight up the Nile from Cairo. The name means &ldquo;palaces&rdquo; in Arab because it was the capital of Egypt from about 1500 to 1000 B.C. Important as the city was in the days of the pharaohs, only temples and tombs&ndash;structures for the gods and the dead&ndash;survive. Buildings for real people were made of mud brick&ndash;cooler, cheaper, and quick to wash away with time. But the temples (which were made of stone) and the tombs (which were carved underground) survive in an amazing state of repair.

  10. Leadership vacuum, not locusts, is Egypt's greatest plague

    A plague of locusts swept through Egypt a few weeks ago, an estimated 30 million of the critters. Egyptian officials tried to downplay the phenomenon, hoping to quash any biblical analogies. They noted that locust swarms show up in the spring every...

  11. Alexandria, Egypt's 'Pearl of the Mediterranean'

    Most tourists in Egypt visit only Cairo and Luxor. Few visit Alexandria, just a three-hour drive away &mdash; the country&rsquo;s second city, and one of the great cities of the Mediterranean. Egypt&rsquo;s historical capital for almost a millennium, today the &ldquo;Pearl of the Mediterranean&rdquo; is a favorite summer getaway for locals who appreciate its cosmopolitan flavor and cooler climate. It&rsquo;s like Cairo in its mega-millions intensity, but cleaner and quieter, and facing the Mediterranean instead of the Nile.

  12. Open Letter to Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi

    Dear Mr. President,
    Dear Mr. President, I am a Protestant Christian, and a burden I bear all my life is what’s called the “Protestant work ethic.” I was just in your wonderful capital city, and my work ethic drives me to make a suggestion. Because I...
