EGYPT – AVOID NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to Egypt (with the exception of the Red Sea coastal resorts of Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada and the area along the upper Nile, from Luxor to Aswan, where you should exercise a high degree of caution) due to the security situation, which remains unpredictable, and continued demonstrations in many parts of the country.
You should avoid non-essential travel to within 50 kilometers of the border with Libya, including the Siwa Oasis, and the desert areas in western Egypt, which include the oases of Farafra, Dakhla and Bawati/Bahariya, and the White and Black deserts, due to the presence of armed groups. See Security for more information.
The ability to provide consular services may be limited at short notice. We recommend that Canadians register with the Registration of Canadians Abroad service. You are responsible for your personal safety abroad. If you do travel to Egypt, we strongly recommend that you plan your travel through a reputable travel company/agency. Travel companies in Egypt are well informed of the security situation and can better plan accordingly.
