Tourists in Egypt are being warned about planned protests, marches and demonstrations across the country today.
Protests often happen on Fridays but have been specifically called today following political developments and court judgments in the past week.
"The atmosphere at demonstrations can change quickly and without warning. Police may use water cannon, tear gas, birdshot or live ammunition for crowd control," said the UK’s Foreign Office.
Several violent clashes have taken place since July 2013, mostly in Cairo and Alexandria, resulting in a large number of deaths.
In January of this year, 80 were reportedly killed in clashes in Cairo, Alexandria and Fayoum.
"If you become aware of any nearby protests, leave the area immediately. Don’t attempt to cross road blocks erected by the security forces or protesters," said the advice.
"Make sure you keep valid photographic identification with you at all times. Take particular care in areas with a history of regular protests. At protests on 24 and 25 January westerners, including British Nationals, were singled out and attacked by some protestors."
