The 2011 Egyptian Protests
|
India sent a special commercial Air India flight on 30 January to bring back its citizens who wanted to return home. Some of the 3,600-odd Indians who live in Egypt had expressed an interest in returning.
Israel advised its citizens to refrain from non-essential travel to Egypt. It later called on all its citizens holidaying in the Sinai to return home.
Greece also called for its citizens to be evacuated.
The Emir of Kuwait ordered the embassy to make sure all Kuwaiti citizens were brought back home free-of-cost and to make sure the embassy provides a hotel if needed. Kuwait Airways received orders from the Emir to send special flights to bring all Kuwaitis in Egypt back home. The Kuwaiti Ambassador to Egypt said that all Kuwaiti citizens are "safe, and enjoy good health." Thousands of Saudi and Egyptian passengers were stranded at the Cairo, Jeddah and Riyadh airports. Turkey was also sending two aircraft to pick up its stranded citizens.
