It’s the time of year When we browse through our passport pages, see which countries we have missed, and with a global icon so hospitable with $ 25 on Visa arrival, you can easily disable one of the most fascinating countries in the world.
Well, there is still easy …
The American embassy puts a damper on your Indiana Jones adventures, publishing a new one Security alert Due to ‘increased regional tensions’ that can ultimately influence visitors.
If you have been turned on your TV for the past 48 hours to one of the talking main networks, then you are certainly aware of the current Israel-Iran conflicts without end in sight.
No matter how much I want us to be able to solve the problems of the world, that’s not what we should do here today. We are here just to go through the cold, hard facts and to inform you about what to look out for when you venture on the land of unsolved mysteries (and super cheap all-inclusive resorts!)- The only Egypt.
Egypt’s new security warning: what it means for your epic vacation
Believe it or not, I was only 3 months in Ukraine before Russia attacked with very little warning, and now travelers in Egypt may feel the sniff travel disruptions with an even tighter window as tensions between Iran and Israel cooked in a total battle.
Although Egypt is not directly involved, the long -term role in regional political stability and the shared airspace has caused sufficient concern for the US embassy in Cairo to issue a security warning.
So what exactly is the care?
Well, over the years I have treated countless travel advice and security warnings and this is the most vague!
Fortunately me …
Jokes aside, this is fairly easy to decipher. When the world runs through these random phases that seem to tilt him on his side, his travel shifts are virtually inevitable, so travelers must prepare accordingly.
Expect travel headache, such as flight delays and cancellations, the longer these conflicts will continue.
But there is certainly no valid fear at the moment that you have to take cover for incoming fire while you explore Cairo’s fascinating markets, drive Camelback over the desert, try to find out whether Giza was the power plant of earlier civilization, or relaxing swimming poolside in one of the world’s most underrated beach resort spending, SHARHHH.
Expect stricter security
I have been to nearly 40 countries, and one thing that still costs some adjustment for me is not seeing guards of machine gun abroad, isn’t a warm welcome, right?
It is still to be seen which type of extra power will be implemented, but it was included in the new alert.
Whether it is an increase in presence at airports, popular attractions, shopping centers and more, let the thorn in the eye of what you feel dangerous, do not stop you from having a great time in such a unique destination.
In all likelihood you want to pay more attention to picking and choosing your meals in Egypt, especially Cairo, if Tutankhamen’s curse (AKA Traveler’s diarrhea) is notorious here, just like scams while visiting the world -famous pyramids.
Always book an official tour instead of the annoying guides who are awaiting your arrival that do not seem to understand what you would think is a universal word – “no”.
Tips to stay safe in Egypt
How popular as Egypt is, it is important to note that not only the American embassy has issued a new security warning, but the US Department of Foreign Affairs has had an excellent ‘level 3: Reconsider Travel’ ‘had’ advice Since October 2024 with important care:
- Terrorism (especially the northern and middle Sinaï -Schierteiland and western desert)
- Limited means to help dual-national US-Egyptian citizens who are being held or arrested
