Security Message for U.S. Citizens No. 66: Embassy Closed Monday, August 4 through Saturday, August 10 The Department of State has instructed certain U.S. Embassies and Consulates to close for days not previously scheduled as holidays in the period Monday, August 4 through Saturday, August 10. These Embassies and Consulates will continue to provide emergency American citizen services. As previously noted, the Department has been apprised of information that, out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting our installations, indicates we should institute these precautionary steps. The current list of Temporary Post Closures and the text of the World Wide Travel Alert can be found at travel.state.gov. The Department, when conditions warrant, takes steps like this to balance our continued operations with security and safety considerations. However, beyond this announcement we do not discuss specific threat information, security considerations or measures, or other steps we may be taking. Accordingly, the Embassy Cairo will be closed Monday, August 4 through Saturday, August 10. U.S. citizens requiring emergency assistance should contact the Embassy switchboard which is manned 24/7 at 02-2797-3300.
