Dense fog is expected early Sunday that would impair drivers' vision during early morning commutes, Egypt's state news agency MENA quoted the Egyptian Meteorological Authority as saying. Fog has been a constant in the early morning since last week.
On Thursday, the country closed off a number of major highways, such as the Cairo Ring Road and the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, until 10am to prevent accidents amid dense fog.
The Meteorological Authority said the current wave of morning fog is expected to continue until Wednesday coming.
Egypt's traffic authority has increased the number of traffic police on roads affected by fog to facilitate safe commutes.
Warmer weather is expected during the daytime Sunday while colder temperatures are expected at night.
Cairo will see highs of 19 degrees Celsius and lows of nine degrees Celsius, while the coastal city of Alexandria will witness daytime highs of 18 degrees Celsius and nighttime lows of 13 degrees Celsius.
