Tourism Down As Cairo Struggles After Months Of Violence

CAIRO, EGYPT - OCTOBER 21: An Egyptian woman sits on a doorstep in the streets of Cairo's Khan al Khallili district on October 21, 2013 in Cairo, Egypt. The Khan al Khallil district, a major market area and home to much of Cairo's original Islamic architecture, is one of the city's major tourist attractions. After a summer of violence, tourist numbers across Egypt are at their lowest levels since a 2010 peak in tourism in the country. While Egypt's tourism sector took a dive following the popular uprising that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak in early 2011, occupancy rates of hotels in the capital Cairo and across Egypt have been reported as dramatically down since the Egyptian military's overthrow of President Morsi in July. In 2010, tourism represented 13% of Egypt's economy and employed one in seven of the country's workers. (Photo by Ed Giles/Getty Images).
