FCO updated travel advice for Egypt - 13 June 2012

[DJKeefy]

• The second round of Presidential elections will take place on 16 and 17 June in locations across Egypt. There may be increased tension and demonstrations during and after this period. There is likely to be increased security near polling stations. We advise British nationals to stay away from polling stations on election days and avoid demonstrations and election rallies.


• Demonstrations are frequent in larger cities across Egypt, particularly Tahrir Square, Cairo, Alexandria, Suez and Ismailia. Demonstrations are often on Fridays but can take place at other times. British nationals should avoid demonstrations and large crowds, and follow developments on the news. There have been reports of sexual assaults on women during some demonstrations in Tahrir Square. We advise women to take extra care when near the square, particularly when alone.
