Emergency numbers in Egypt
In an emergency abroad the hardest part is knowing whom to call and explaining where you are. This page lists the main emergency numbers in Egypt and basic steps for medical problems, a lost passport and traffic accidents. Save these numbers with your address in Arabic and share them with family and colleagues.
Main numbers
- Police: 122.
- Ambulance: 123.
- Fire: 180.
- Tourist police: 126, for problems at sites and in tourist cities.
- Chinese citizens can also call the consular protection hotline 12308 (with the China country code from abroad).
Giving your location
Operators mostly speak Arabic. Save your address in Arabic and a nearby landmark from the Wang Fu Egypt Map, and use voice translation to say what happened, where, and how many people are hurt.
Illness and injury
For minor issues go to a nearby private hospital emergency room; for serious cases call 123. Hospitals are on the Wang Fu Egypt Map, and we can arrange an interpreter for hospital visits. Bring your passport and insurance details.
Lost passport or an accident
Report a lost passport at the nearest police station, then contact your embassy. After a traffic accident make sure everyone is safe, call 122 or 123, keep photos and the other party’s details, and do not sign documents you cannot read.
