This advice has been reviewed and reissued with an amendment to the Travel Summary and Safety and Security section. We advise against all but essential travel to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Suez. We recommend that British nationals without a pressing need to be in Cairo, Alexandria or Suez leave by commercial means where it is safe to do so. British nationals in other areas of Egypt where there are demonstrations should follow the advice below and stay indoors wherever possible.

Despite all the killings European tourists are magnetically drawn to Egypt. Tourism is a huge money maker and all Egyptians in that industry are hospitable. Lets hope it remains that way. The more business there is the less chance the F#$*&%#% Muslim Brotherhood takes over
