Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 / Egypt 2 Travel Advisories Medium risk: Militant attacks in mainland Egypt Exercise caution for travel to Egypt until further notice because of potential attacks by militant groups. Domestic and international terror groups, including the Islamic State (IS), have proved that they have both the capability and intent to strike security and tourist sites within mainland Egypt, including Cairo, Giza, and 6th of October City since 2013. At least five militant attacks occurred in Cairo in 2019, killing at least 25 people and injuring 54 others. These attacks mostly targeted security forces, unlike some of the attacks from previous years, which struck places popular with tourists – including a roadside bomb attack targeting Vietnamese nationals on a tour bus near the Giza pyramids (28 December 2018), knife attacks targeting hotels and beachgoers in the resort city of Hurghada (14 July 2017 and 8 January 2016) and a suicide bombing outside Karnak Temple in Luxor (10 June 2015).

The report’s research is based on a dataset containing 333 cases of digital expression violations based on various forms of expression, including bloggers, digital journalists, and users of social media platforms. The collected dataset reveals a dramatic increase in digital expression arrests in 2016, with the number of arrests continuing to rise through mid-2019. “Publishing false news” is the most frequently used charge to persecute digital expression in Egypt, along with charges of “joining a banned group” and “misuse of social media.” The use of a special prosecutorial body, the State Security Prosecution, to investigate digital expression cases increased dramatically in 2017 due to the establishment of a nationwide state of emergency in the spring of that year.
