Sean Penn is in Cairo, Egypt. He has been visiting the main tourist areas in the country to show his support for the Egyptian revolution and the freedom of its people.
The American actor was seen going to the major Islamic and Coptic sites. He went to the El-Soltan Hassan Mosque and the Moez Street religious complex. According to the Egyptian Tourist Board, he went to the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum yesterday, as well as Tahrir Square. Tomorrow is he has planned to go on a Nile tour.
It was reported that the reason for his going to Egypt was to demonstrate to the world that it is safe to travel there, as there were rumors floating around that Egypt was in a condition of chaos. Penn stated that people should appreciate Egypt’s unique “touristic and archaeological value.”
We believe this goes a long way to answer the question about is it safe to visit Egypt.
