U.S. Embassy Cairo is open and operating normally. The State Department’s Travel Advisory for Egypt remains unchanged at Level 2 ‘Exercise Increased Caution,’ with ‘Do Not Travel’ guidance for the Northern and Middle Sinai as well as parts of the Western Desert (https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories/egypt.html ). We will update this guidance if new information indicates a different threat level. Egyptian airspace remains open and all commercial airports are operational. Travelers may experience outbound flight cancellations or delays depending on airspace status of destinations.
