Sheraton Cairo during the unrest
At the Sheraton Cairo today-- on a higher floor suite in the Towers but with the demonstration on the road the tear gas was easily felt--so had to stay inside and make the best of the Nile view and follow the unrest.

Thanks for the dispatch; we wish you a safe trip!

Seems we won't here anything from ac777 pretty soon. Internet in Egypt is shut down. Hope ac777 will stay save.
