The 2011 Egyptian Protests

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.
Until 30 January, the British government was advising its citizens to stay put (although advising against non-essential travel). However, it was then revised to say "We recommend that British nationals without a pressing need to be in Cairo, Alexandria or Suez leave by commercial means, where it is safe to do so." The Foreign Ministry recommendation that citizens in other parts of the country not affected by widespread protests and violence stay where they are and to stay indoors.
The US advised its citizens to take evacuation flights to safe havens in Europe. It later warned its citizens to leave "as soon as possible". It also offered to send a plane to evacuate embassy personnel to reduce its "diplomatic footprint" in the country.
