Is Egypt in Europe for Travel insurance?

Although Egypt is in Africa, the risk associated with travelling to certain areas of Egypt, such as Sharm El Sheikh, is not greater than travelling to most European countries. However, this is only applicable to certain limited areas in Egypt, other locations in Egypt represent a higher risk and are more dangerous than others, due to criminal activity and sustained terrorist attacks.

For example, as of 17th April 2019, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advise ‘against all travel‘ to the Governorate of North Sinai due to the increased risk of terrorism. They also advise ‘against all but essential travel‘ to some areas west of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta.
