Egypt has gone through many changes since the revolution of January 2011. Initial optimism has given way to widespread frustration about the pace of progress. However, it remains a relatively stable country in the region, especially in the major metropolitan areas. Minor demonstrations do take place, although they are generally localised and do not impact on the lives of expatriates. Ongoing inflation and the devaluation of the Egyptian pound in November 2016 have had a serious impact on the economy, driving up the price of goods and services. This is now starting to settle down as new market equilibrium is established and Egyptians hope they are entering a period of greater stability and reform.
Egypt currently has travel restrictions in Sinai due to deterioration in security in this area.
