Egypt travel OK

Britain’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) no longer advises against all but essential travel to Cairo.  Since this time last year the popular Red Sea resorts have been considered safe and since last month the popular tourist centres of Luxor and Aswan have been approved.
 
Omayma El Husseini, ETA’s Director of UK & Ireland, commented: “We could not be more pleased by the FCO’s additional revision – Egypt’s capital is open for business!  UK travellers can now return and enjoy the world renowned historical attractions in Cairo as well as the city itself. We look forward to welcoming the British and Irish back”.
 
An FCO spokesperson commented, “FCO Travel Advice (TA) is kept under constant review.  Relaxation of our TA for Cairo is a reflection of our assessment of the current threat facing British Nationals.  We no longer advise against all but essential travel to Cairo.  This includes the entire Governorates of Cairo and Giza”. www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/egypt
