Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry issued a travel warning advising citizens against visiting Egypt during the state of emergency, according to Ukrinform. "The security situation in Egypt remains complicated," the ministry's Twitter statement reads. The warning comes as Egypt has ostensibly seen a spike in Ukrainian tourists visiting the country, with their numbers growing 120% y-o-y in the first eight months of 2017, according to earlier statements from Tourism Ministry officials. (Some in the industry have suggested that a good portion of the increase could be coming from Russian holidaymakers booking through Ukraine.)
