WASHINGTON -- The State Department is urging Americans to defer any non-essential travel to Egypt because of the large anti-government protests and warning U.S. citizens already in the country to stay put until the situation stabilizes.
In a travel alert issued on Friday, the department said the situation in the capital, Cairo, and other cities is volatile as the military and security forces move to quell the demonstrations. It said Americans in Egypt now should remain in their homes or hotels until calm is restored.

Urging Americans to travel Egypt is just a general act of government towards the safety of their fellowmen. But if someone really needs to be there for a very reasonable purpose they have to make sure that they have necessary things needed our there. Also, for those who are really going to Egypt, give yourself a favor. Avail a travel protection.
