U.S. Embassy Cairo, Egypt

Several terror bombings rocked the heart of Sharm El Sheikh early July 23rd, causing significant damage and loss of life. As of 7:00 a.m. Cairo time, there are no reports of any U.S. citizen casualties. The Embassy has sent a team to the site to offer assistance to any U.S. citizens who may have been affected. Because of the considerable disruptions in the area, U.S. citizens should postpone all travel to the South Sinai until further notice.

Inquiries concerning the welfare and or whereabouts of U.S. citizens who might be in Sharm El Sheikh may be made directly to the U.S. Embassy Cairo ACS Unit at +2-02 797-3832 or 797-3986 or via the Embassy switchboard at 797-3300.
