I think there's a good chance beib's visit gets cancelled.
Disagree. If I had to guess, I'd say this is mutually beneficial and Egypt is pushing really hard for it.
Egypt is hurting from a massive (like 90% or something) downturn in tourism, which is vital to their economy. Germany and 4-5 major European countries issued a historic travel advisory that also extends to Sharm, et al after the tourist bus got bombed in February. That's devastating to an interim gov trying to establish some legitimacy with prez elections looming about two months out and a notoriously restless population.
I bet they're paying the Biebs a crap ton of freshly minted Gulf cash and promising prez-level security. It'll be a huge international event, so Egypt wins b/c tourism will rebound and Bieber wins b/c, well, Bieber always wins. Deal with it.
