"SAFETY AND SECURITY:   Egypt suffered a series of deadly terrorist attacks in or near tourist sites in 2004, 2005, and 2006 – often coinciding with major local holidays.  Prior to the October 2004 attack, there had been no terrorist incidents involving tourists in Egypt since the mid 1990s.  Americans should be especially vigilant in crowded tourist areas in the Sinai, practice good personal security measures, and be alert to their surroundings.  A heavy security presence is apparent to travelers throughout the country.  Americans are encouraged to visit the U.S. Embassy in Cairo web site at http://cairo.usembassy.gov/ for the most up-to-date security information.

Since October 2004, three major, coordinated terrorist bombings targeting the Sinai Peninsula’s tourist infrastructure caused many deaths and hundreds of injuries, mostly to Egyptian nationals.  U.S. citizens do not appear to have been targeted in any of these incidents, but many non-Egyptian tourists, including Americans, were killed or injured in these attacks.

Three explosions in the town of Dahab in April 2006 killed over 20 people and wounded at least 80 additional people, including five U.S. citizens.  In July 2005, three explosions in Sharm el Sheikh killed over 60 people, including one American.  In October 2004, three bombs detonated in Taba and two nearby tourist camps, killing 34 people, including one American.  Evidence of instability in the Sinai has also been reflected in random attacks on vehicles transiting the interior and two bomb attacks on Multinational Force Observers near the Rafah border crossing in August 2005 and April 2006.

While the Egyptian Government took measures against the perpetrators of the 2004 and 2005 attacks, the April 2006 bombings reflect a persistent, indigenous threat of terror activities in the Sinai.

Travelers seeking to cross the Egyptian-Gaza border at Rafah are likely to encounter difficulty.  The border is frequently closed and re-openings are announced on short notice.  Travelers wishing to cross this border should contact the American Consulate General in Jerusalem for more information on the current status of the border crossing.  Travelers should also refer to the Israel, West Bank and Gaza Travel Warning before traveling to Gaza.

U.S. citizens who still plan to visit the Sinai in spite of the persistent threat of terrorist attacks should exercise great caution.  Travelers are reminded to remain alert to their surroundings, to avoid crowded tourist areas, and to use caution when visiting destination resorts and hotels without significant physical setback and security procedures.

In addition to the Sinai attacks, there were three terror attacks on crowded tourist destinations in Cairo in April 2005.  In one, a lone suicide bomber killed three foreigners, including an American, at Cairo’s Khan el-Khalili Market.  Three Americans were seriously injured in this incident.  

There have been instances of instability and public disorder in some other areas of Egypt, most notably in the Nile Valley governorates of Assiut and Sohag, located between Cairo and Luxor.  These governorates, along with the adjacent governorates of Minya and Qena, have been areas of extremist activity in the past.  U.S. Embassy personnel traveling to these areas (apart from Luxor and adjacent tourist destinations) require advance approval.  Egyptian authorities also restrict the travel of foreigners in these governorates.  American citizens planning to travel in these areas should contact the Embassy prior to travel.

Public demonstrations occasionally take place in areas such as Tahrir Square in Cairo and in the vicinity of universities and mosques following the Friday noon prayers, including the Azhar mosque across from the Khan El Khalili Bazaar area.  These demonstrations are typically accompanied by a heavy security presence.  Roads in the vicinity are often closed.  Americans should remain attuned to readily-available English-language media outlets and avoid all public demonstrations.

Travelers to Egypt's frontiers, including the borders with Libya, Sudan, and Israel and parts of the Sinai off the main, paved roads, must obtain permission from the Travel Permits Department of the Ministry of the Interior, located at the corner of Sheikh Rihan and Nubar Streets in downtown Cairo.

In addition, travelers should be aware that landmines have caused many casualties, including deaths of Americans, in Egypt.  All travelers should check with local authorities before embarking on off-road travel.  Known minefields are not reliably marked by signs, but are sometimes enclosed by barbed wire.  After heavy rains, which can cause flooding and the consequent shifting of landmines, travelers should take care driving through build-ups of sand on roadways.  Though mines are found in other parts of Egypt, the highest concentrations are in World War II battlefields along the Mediterranean coast west of Alexandria, the Eastern Desert between Cairo and the Suez Canal, and much of the Sinai Peninsula.  Travelers are urged to be especially prudent in these areas.

For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs’ web site at http://travel.state.gov, where the current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts, as well as the Worldwide Caution, can be found.   Consular information is also available via the Internet on the U.S. Embassy Cairo’s web site at http://cairo.usembassy.gov/.

Up-to-date information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S. and Canada, or for callers outside the U.S. and Canada, a regular toll-line at 1-202-501-4444.  These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).

The Department of State urges American citizens to take responsibility for their own personal security while traveling overseas.  For general information about appropriate measures travelers can take to protect themselves in an overseas environment, see the Department of State’s pamphlet A Safe Trip Abroad.

Landesspezifische Sicherheitshinweise

Terrorismus

In den letzten Jahren gab es in Ägypten willkürliche Anschläge auf Hotels und Touristenziele (Oktober 2004: Anschläge in Taba, Sinai-Halbinsel, auf Hotels und Touristenziele; April 2005: Anschläge in Kairo (Khan El-Khalili, Ägyptisches Museum und Zitadelle); Juli 2005: mehrere Sprengstoffanschläge im Badeort Sharm El-Sheikh, Sinai-Halbinsel, auf ein Hotel, ein Café und einen Basar mit über 60 Todesopfern; April 2006: Anschlag im Badeort Dahab, Sinai-Halbinsel, mit mindestens 19 Todesopfern und über 50 Verletzten).

Seit Mai 2006 hat es keine Anschläge oder andere ausländerfeindlichen Gewaltakte gegeben. Dennoch können weitere Anschläge nicht ausgeschlossen werden.

Aufgrund der willkürlichen Auswahl der Anschlagsziele besteht aber für Reisende im ganzen Land eine erhöhte Gefährdung. Die Entwicklung im gesamten Land muss daher sorgfältig verfolgt werden. Reisenden wird beim Besuch von touristischen Einrichtungen, Märkten und Einkaufszentren zu besonderer Vorsicht geraten und empfohlen, sich von Demonstrationen und größeren Menschenansammlungen fern zu halten.

Die ägyptische Regierung bemüht sich mit Nachdruck, die Bevölkerung wie auch Touristen und andere Ausländer vor Gewaltakten zu schützen. Zu den Sicherheitsmaßnahmen gehören die Begleitung von Touristenbussen und -zügen sowie sonstigen touristischen Ausflugsfahrten durch Fahrzeuge der Sicherheitsbehörden. Diese vorbeugende Konvoibegleitung ist insbesondere auf den Straßenwegen entlang des Nils nach und durch Mittelägypten bis nach Oberägypten vorgeschrieben.

Reisen über Land

Im Nordsinai ist die Sicherheitslage angespannt. Das gilt insbesondere seit der gewaltsamen Öffnung des Grenzüberganges Rafah zwischen Ägypten und dem Gazastreifen am 23.01.2008. Von Reisen in das Gebiet nördlich der den Sinai querenden Straße vom Suezkanal-Tunnel nach Ras-en-Naqb (kurz vor der ägyptisch-israelischen Grenze) wird abgeraten.

Touren außerhalb offizieller Wegstrecken (sog. Off-Road-Tourismus) sowie individuelle Einzelreisen in bestimmte Regionen sind genehmigungspflichtig. Alle Wegstrecken sind in regelmäßigen Abständen mit fest eingerichteten Kontrollposten versehen.

Minengefahr

Wegen unzureichend gekennzeichneter Minenfelder ist besondere Vorsicht abseits regulärer Straßen und Wege auf dem Sinai, in einigen nicht erschlossenen Küstenbereichen des Roten Meeres, am nicht erschlossenen Mittelmeerküstenstreifen westlich von El Alamein und in Grenzregionen zu Sudan und Libyen geboten.

Straßen-, Schiffs- und Luftverkehr

Im Straßenverkehr besteht wegen des oft riskanten Fahrverhaltens der Verkehrsteilnehmer erhöhte Unfallgefahr. Von Fahrten in Privat- oder Mietfahrzeugen nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit wird dringend abgeraten. Auch bei der Benutzung von Massenverkehrsmitteln (Reisebusse, Minibusse) besteht erhöhte Unfallgefahr. Fährschiffe, wie sie über das Rote Meer eingesetzt werden, entsprechen nicht immer internationalen Standards; ihre Benutzung stellt daher ein erhöhtes Risiko dar.

Die Sicherheitskontrollen an den ägyptischen Flughäfen, insbesondere in Hurghada und Sharm El-Sheikh, entsprechen nicht dem europäischen Standard und werden als unzureichend eingeschätzt. Dennoch kann es zu längeren Wartezeiten
