Foreign Office: “Don’t travel to Egypt”

They are now advising against travelling to Egypt, also when people are heading for the touristic areas.

Holiday makers should avoid "all travels to Egypt", also to holiday resorts at the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. The Belgian authorities do not want to take any risk as the situation in the country is escalating. On Wednesday, Belgium had advised against travelling to Egypt, except for the coastal resorts. This has now been tightened.

Belgian touroperators are also monitoring the situation. They hadn’t adapted their package holiday offers so far, but are expected to do this in the short run.
