Is it safe to travel to Egypt now?

January 24, 2011

This warden message is being issued to alert U.S. citizens residing and traveling in Egypt that several groups have publicly called for demonstrations to be held on Tuesday January 25, 2011. January 25 is Police Day, a national holiday in Egypt, and all schools and government offices and some private businesses will be closed.

In Cairo, the sites announced as possible venues for demonstrations are the neighborhoods of Dokki, Giza, Shoubra and Mattareya, as well as Tahrir Square and the Khan al Khalili market. Some groups have announced plans for demonstrations to be held in Alexandria and other cities, without specifying locations. Large open areas near public buildings are common sites for demonstrations. Local authorities have announced that the planned demonstrations are illegal and that police will take appropriate action to prevent traffic disruptions. While all announcements indicate that peaceful demonstrations are planned, any large gathering has the potential for confrontation and violence.
