The Federal Tourism Agency once again called on tour operators and travel agents to exclude Cairo from their destinations in connection with the worsening situation in the Egyptian capital, Interfax reported Tuesday.
The agency warned against travel to several other Egyptian regions as well, adding that if Russians still decide to go on vacation to the Red Sea, it is better to travel in a group.
This comes after demonstrations by Copts in Cairo on Oct. 9 led to clashes with security forces, resulting in 24 deaths and more than 200 injuries.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
