The children of Israel had followed the directions given them of God; and while the angel of death was passing from house to house among the Egyptians, they were all ready for their journey and waiting for the rebellious king and his great men to bid them go. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and trouble, an inner sense of calmness which reflects and meditates on the inner wisdom with answers.

Thousands of foreign nationals in the north African Arab country Egypt are scrambling to fly out of a muddled Cairo airport as protesters rally for a ninth day to reject Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's schedule September to quite the Presidential seat.

Chief Executive of Air Partner, an air charter provider Mark Briffa has said that countries like China, Japan, Canada, Britain and Turkey have all announced extra flights to the country to withdraw their nationals over the last couple of days.

"The airport is in a state of pandemonium; all airlines are struggling to gain landing and takeoff slots," adding, "the reality is there is not enough spare capacity on commercial airlines to fly the vast number of people who are trying to get out of Egypt at the moment, and some airlines are intermittently suspending flights to and from Cairo, further reducing capacity," he said in an emailed statement.

UKs government spokesperson for Foreign Office has slapped a cool £300 per seat on nationals wishing to take advantage of its charter flight to London on Wednesday explain that the fare was in line with a standard single fare, and similar to the amount being charged by the United States, Canada and a handful of others.

"It is not an ordered evacuation because commercial flights are available," the spokesperson said. Adding, "The flight is simply to supplement existing capacity."

According to the Reuters, German tour operators on Tuesday cancelled all holidays to Egypt, Air Berlin said it would still fly planes out on Thursday as normal, even if they were empty, so as to pick up people returning from the Arab country. Tour operators reported the Red Sea tourist resorts remained calm with no supply issues at hotels.

TUI, Thomas Cook and Rewe said they had received only a few requests for customers to fly back early from resorts such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheik.

TUI's UK operators Thomson and First Choice are repatriating their 950 customers in Luxor, however, where the British government has advised against travel.

"We're hoping to get the majority of them home today," said a spokeswoman.

Tourism is one of Egypt's top sources of foreign revenue, accounting for more than 11 percent of GDP, and offers jobs in a country with high unemployment. In 2009, about 12.5 million tourists visited Egypt, bringing revenue of $10.8bn.
