Jolie, Pitt prefer Luxor over Tahrir

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Cairo – Somaia Ibrahim The unstable political atmosphere in Egypt  has hardly deterred Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie from visiting the country and enjoying the sun. A private plane carrying the star actors landed at Cairo airport before they swept off to Luxor. Despite tension over the verdict on murder charges against former president Hosni Mubarak, the duo chose Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel to spend their holidays which began last Friday at "Water Plus".  They could not resist the charm of the Nile, having a dinner on the "Zain" boat in Aswan before they returned to Cairo airport Monday afternoon leaving behind Mohammed Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq as they struggle to gain support in the most competitive battle in Egypt's recent political history.
