Egypt is a popular holiday destination famous for its incredible ancient history and architecture, exciting desert adventures and water sports, year-round sunshine and delicious cuisine.
Nevertheless, before visiting, holidaymakers should consult the UK Government’s travel advice so they are prepared.
Recently, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) gave updated information on the Conflict affecting Lebanon.
Britons were warned: “Ongoing hostilities between Israel and Lebanon could escalate quickly and pose risks for the wider region.
