Egypt - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to Egypt due to terrorism. Exercise increased caution in Egypt due to the Embassy’s limited ability to assist dual national U.S.-Egyptian citizens who are arrested or detained.

Cairo, Egypt's bustling capital, is strategically located in the northeastern part of the country, approximately 165 km south of the Mediterranean Sea. The city straddles the Nile River, with the older parts nestled on the eastern bank and newer sections expanding westward. The Nile River is not only a central geographical feature, providing water and transportation, but it has also historically influenced the city's development. While primarily a desert region, Cairo experiences a humid climate due to the river's proximity. The city's topography is relatively flat, with some low hills like the Mokattam Hills to the east and the iconic Giza Plateau, home to the ancient pyramids and Sphinx, just outside its western edge.
