CAIRO, July 19 (MENA) - Egypt’s Foreign Ministry welcomed on Friday the U.S. government’s decision to upgrade its travel advisory for Egypt to Level 2, placing the country in the same category as France and Germany.

The move was hailed as a “notable positive step” by the Ministry’s spokesperson.

In a statement, the spokesperson also praised the UK Foreign Office’s parallel decision to similarly update its travel guidance for Egypt to Level 2.

The UK noted that nearly one million British tourists visit Egypt annually, underscoring the country's reputation for security and stability.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed that these updates come as a result of recent diplomatic efforts, with Egyptian embassies around the world working closely with governments to boost tourism flows. (MENA)
