Egypt

Air pollution in Cairo has become as bad as almost any city on earth. Since October the Egyptian capital has been plagued by a brown haze locals have been euphemistically calling “black fog,” an ungodly soup of vehicle exhaust and emissions from lead smelters trapped by atmospheric inversions. Consider curtailing strenuous outdoor activities.

Egypt

Parliamentary elections are being held in three phases, Oct. 18, 29, and Nov. 8. It is the first election in decades being held in stages with judges monitoring the polling stations. Turnout is usually low but the government is pushing for greater participation. In the last election five years ago, dozens were killed and scores injured in election-related violence. Consider deferring travel until the election is over and results have been released.
