Egypt street vendors, store owners say Morsi is bad for business
GIZA, Egypt — The woman with crates of unsold tomatoes breathed in the boisterous music of slum life: creaking shutters, squawking chickens, blowing laundry, clattering junkmen. But the ingrained rhythms only angered Hamid Ali Mohamed, who sat...

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...Tags: Entertainment, Shootings, Moody's Corporation, The New York Times, Religion and Belief

Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel on Time 100 list
It's not as juicy as Forbes' annual highest-paid celebrities list, but the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people always provides plenty of conversational fodder, especially when it comes to which TV personalities made the list. Though...

Alexandria, Egypt's 'Pearl of the Mediterranean'

'Arab Spring,' once an inspiration, now a more cautionary tale

Welcome to Cairo — Capital of the Arab World
Vast as Cairo is, it’s a small world for the traveler when it comes to sights and tourist-friendly stops. Local guides, local friends, and both guidebooks I’m using all dip into the same tiny pool of a handful of sights, restaurants, cafés,...

Egypt — Something different for a change
