We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution for Egypt due to the threat of terrorism. We also 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.

Conflicts in the Middle East could result in an increase in tensions elsewhere in the region and may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. For information on the Taba land border crossings from Israel see ‘Travel’ below. Be aware that we currently advise Reconsider your Need to travel North of the St Catherine-Nuweiba Road in South Sinai except for the coast.

Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests (See ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Egypt overall due to the threat of terrorism.

Other levels apply in some areas.
