The ministry warned that the Egyptian Red Sea resort, which has so far spared from violence, could be affected by general instability related unrest in the country.
In a travel alert on Thursday, the ministry advised residents to remain in Italy holiday resorts and hotels as well as recommend to not go to a city like Cairo and Alexandria as well as areas in the southern part of the Sinai peninsula.
