Egypt - Caution
 October 22, 1992

Upper Egypt has been seriously affected by extremist violence, most 
recently since May of 1992.  Attacks on Egyptian citizens, police 
and security officials, and recently foreign nationals have been 
most common in the governates of Assiyut and Minya.  There is no 
specific information of threats against American citizens living or 
traveling in Egypt.  However, the U.S. Embassy cautions American 
citizens against travel in the Assiyut and Minya governates and 
particularly the town of Dairut and surrounding areas.

The American Embassy does not at this time caution American 
citizens against travel to other areas of tourism activity such as 
Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbal, Cairo, Alexandria, the Red Sea coast, or 
the Sinai.

American travelers are encouraged to consult with the Consular 
Section of the American Embassy in Cairo, at 8 Kamal El-Din Salah 
Street, telephone number (20) (2) 355-7371, or the Consulate General 
in Alexandria at 110 Horreya Avenue, Unit 64904, telephone number 
(20) (3) 482-1911.
