Families of Egyptian businessmen leave Cairo
2011-01-30
CAIRO -- An official at Cairo airport says 19 private jets carrying families of wealthy Egyptian and Arab businessmen have flown out of the capital.
"Boeing 757 don't fall us now!"
Come fly with me
Let's fly, let's fly away...
The official said the jets left Saturday carrying dozens of family members of Egypt's business elite. He said most of the planes were headed for Dubai.
Beats Saudi-controlled Arabia if you're an Egyptian.
The passengers included the families of telecom mogul Naguib Sawiris, the executive chairman of Orascom Telecom,
...cell phone supplier to the North Koreans...
and Hussein Salem, a hotel tycoon and close confidant of President Hosni Mubarak.
They'll all be 'former close confidants' real soon. Then they'll be 'Hosni? Hosni who?'
