Retaliatory strikes are occurring in the Middle East region following military strikes on Iran. Military conflict in the region is causing airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice. Read our advice on the Middle East conflict (see ‘Safety’).

Terrorism is a threat, including in Egypt. Terrorist attacks could happen at any time or anywhere. Maintain a high level of security awareness. Avoid possible targets including venues that draw in foreigners, tourists or crowds where possible. If there’s a security incident, follow the advice of local authorities. Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests.

We advise:

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

Higher levels apply in some areas.
