Emergency help abroad

Immediate steps for Egyptian travellers in trouble overseas.

Life-threatening emergency

Call the local emergency number first (112 works in much of the world; check your destination’s number on its country guide). Then contact the Egyptian embassy.

Find your embassy

Use the Emergency Help Finder or Embassy Finder to reach the nearest Egyptian mission.

Common situations

Lost passport: see the lost-passport steps.
Arrest/detention: ask to contact the Egyptian consulate; you have the right to consular access.
Medical: use local emergency services; your insurer’s assistance line can help coordinate.
Theft: file a police report — you’ll need it for insurance and document replacement.

⚠️ Emergency numbers can change and vary by area. In a real emergency, call local services directly and verify numbers locally. This page is informational.
