Protestors on January 31, 2011 in central Cairo, Egypt
No doubt, like us here at Viator, you’ve been watching the protests in Egypt unfold with a mix of hope and fear. Hope that the situation is resolved peacefully and quickly. Fear, that it does not turn violent (and the news over the past 48 hours has been increasingly worrying on this front).
Because your safety and security are always our priority, we, like many other travel companies in the region, have temporarily suspended all tours and activities in Egypt. We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis, receiving regular updates from our local operators in Cairo and throughout Egypt.
Needless to say, we are also waiving any cancel or amendment fees for all affected travelers.
We do hope the situation will stabilize in the very near future and we continue to accept bookings for all travel dates after March 1, 2011. We’ll keep you posted if that changes.
If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Care team and they can assist you immediately. For running updates on the situation in Egypt, check out WSJ.com’s Dispatch blog.

What a mess! Obviously the troubles of the Egyptian people and ensuring a true democracy is finally established in Egypt come first, but like Viator and countless other tour operators and vacation groups my travel club had to cancel our trip. We hope peace is restored ASAP for this great country with so much culture and history to share.
