 [Travel] The Foreign Office now advises against travel to all or part of more than 60 nations around the world. The vast majority are in Africa and the Middle East, with Tunisia being the most recent addition, earlier this year.
Large parts of Egypt are deemed unsafe, including the entire Sinai peninsula, where a Russian aircraft crashed last week. Of the vast Sinai region, only the areas within the Sharm el Sheikh perimeter barrier, which includes the airport and the resorts of Sharm el Maya, Hadaba, Naama Bay, Sharks Bay and Nabq, is open to tourists. A large swathe of land to the west of the Nile Valley is also off-limits.
