We’ve reviewed our advice for Egypt and have lowered the overall travel advice level. We now advise exercise a high degree of caution due to the threat of terrorism. We continue to advise Do not Travel or Reconsider Your Need to Travel to several areas of Egypt due to threats including higher risks of terrorism or serious crime – read our advice carefully. Terrorist attacks could occur anywhere in Egypt. Potential targets include religious sites and tourist locations. The situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories could lead to increased tensions, and the security situation could deteriorate with little notice. Increased tensions in the Middle East may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and diversions, and other travel disruptions. Avoid all demonstrations and protests.
We advise:
Exercise a high degree of caution in Egypt overall due to the threat of terrorism.
Other levels apply in some areas.
