Amid recent regional tensions, Egypt is making intensive efforts to maintain its travel advisory level, confirming the climate of security and stability it enjoys, as Egypt is one of the main hubs for evacuating foreigners from the region when needed, given the full readiness of state institutions. These efforts resulted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland and Spain keeping their travel advice for Egypt unchanged.
Both the US State Department and the Canadian government stressed that Egypt is the safest country in the Middle East and remains at Level 2, meaning the country is safe to travel to but with some concerns, so guidelines should be followed and caution exercised. The US State Department recommended that its citizens wishing to leave the Middle East via Egypt do so on flights from Cairo.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office noted that tourist destinations in Cairo and Red Sea resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam and Hurghada are safe to visit, while the Spanish Embassy in Cairo praised the stability of the security situation in Egypt, issued no security alerts and confirmed that airports in Egypt are operating normally, so flights from Egypt to Spain have not been affected.
Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs also praised the level of security in Egypt, noting that crime remains relatively low, and the German Embassy in Cairo recommended that its citizens coming from Jordan or Israel continue their journey via Egypt, according to the official page of the Egyptian Cabinet on Facebook.
