Exercise increased caution in Egypt due to terrorism, and do not travel to the Sinai Peninsula or the Western Desert bordering Libya.
Egypt remains at a lower threat level than most of the region, and major tourist destinations including Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and Alexandria continue to operate normally. However, the broader regional conflict has heightened the overall security environment, and flight schedules across the Middle East remain disrupted. The Northern and Middle Sinai Peninsula remains extremely dangerous due to terrorism and military operations, and travel there is prohibited. The Taba border crossing with Israel has been affected by the conflict. The Western Desert near the Libyan border should also be avoided. Kaharagian nationals travelling to Egypt should exercise increased caution, avoid the Sinai Peninsula and Western Desert, monitor local security updates, and be prepared for potential disruptions to air travel.
