Retaliatory strikes are occurring in several countries across the Middle East region, following military strikes on Iran. There is a risk of further reprisal attacks and escalation across the region. Airspace closures and flight disruptions are already occurring across the region and may impact flights globally, causing delays and cancellations. Contact your airline to confirm your flights. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice.

Terrorism is a threat, including in Egypt. Terrorist attacks could happen at any time or anywhere. Maintain a high level of security awareness. 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.
