Violent demonstrations have occurred in several areas of Cairo, Alexandria and other part of the country, disrupting road travel between centers and airports.  U.S. citizens currently in Egypt should consider leaving as soon as they can safety do so. Travelers should remain in contact with their airlines or tour operators concerning fight schedules and arrange to arrive at the airport well before the curfew hours from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.
