Travel warning for Egypt: You should avoid these regions!

The Federal Foreign Office has given a partial travel warning for Egypt, which mainly affects the north of the Sinai Peninsula. Travelers should urgently refrain from unaccompanied excursions and overland trips in the south of the Sinai Peninsula, including well-known holiday resorts such as Sharm El-Heikh and Dahab. The reason for this are security -relevant incidents in the past few months, including a fatal attack on tourists in Alexandria and misguided drones in Taba and Nuweiba.

Special caution is required in North Sinai, where military operations take place and there is a state of emergency that results in nocturnal initial blocks. The road from Suez to Taba is closed to non -military vehicles, and travelers are advised to avoid the adjacent Gaza Strip. The Federal Foreign Office recommends that in tours by Egypt to only be on the road with licensed providers to ensure security. Despite all the warnings, the general security situation in Egypt remains stable as long as the recommendations of the foreign office are observed, reports www.ruhr24.de .
