Summary:
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Egypt because of the
high threat of terrorist attack. Attacks could occur at any time, anywhere
in Egypt.
Tourist areas and popular destinations such as Hurghada, Luxor, Aswan,
Giza, Alexandria, Red Sea and Sinai resorts, Upper Egypt and places
throughout the rest of Egypt are potential terrorist targets, as are
commercial and public areas known to be frequented by foreigners. We
continue to receive reports that terrorists are planning attacks against a
range of targets, including but not limited to places frequented by
foreigners. These include tourist resorts and hotels, transport
infrastructure, including the Cairo metro system and its stations, and
other symbols of the Egyptian government.
