Iran has attacked Israel with drones and missiles. This also unsettles holidaymakers who have planned a trip to neighboring Egypt.
There is a warning against traveling to the north of the Sinai Peninsula, the North Sinai Governorate, and the Egyptian-Israeli border area. Military operations are said to have taken place there due to terrorist attacks in the past. The road from Suez to Taba is closed to non-military vehicles. The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip is only open to a limited number of people at irregular intervals. A further travel warning is in place for remote areas of the Sahara, including the border areas with Libya and Sudan. These have been declared restricted areas, and travel there is prohibited. However, the airspace over Egypt remains open for the time being, as the German Press Agency (dpa) learned from circles at Cairo Airport. Only the airport in Cairo is currently closed to air traffic, as Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq closed air traffic after Iran's attack on Israel.
