Security is being ratcheted up at Egypt's diplomatic missions around the world ahead of parliamentary elections which begin next week, the government announced on Wednesday.
"Egypt's embassies and consulates are coordinating with the authorities of the various countries where there is diplomatic representation to ensure security," said deputy foreign minister Hamdi Loza.
Overseas electors will begin casting their ballots on 17 October, while voting in Egypt starts on 18 October in a process that will last six weeks.
French police foiled a planned terror attack by the banned Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement against the Egyptian consulate in Paris before Egypt's last presidential election in 2012, Loza said.
Observers say Egypt's new parliament will be dominated by lawmakers loyal to Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the ex-army chief who deposed the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi after mass street protests against him.
Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, came to power after a popular uprising in 2011 ended three decades under the rule of veteran strongman Hosni Mubarak.
An Egyptian court in June upheld a death sentence against Morsi for his rule in a mass jailbreak. The court also confirmed death sentences against five other leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including its supreme guide Mohammed Badie.
Tens of thousands of Morsi supporters and members of the Muslim Brotherhood movement have been jailed since his ouster.
Just weeks after Morsi was ousted, a police crackdown killed hundreds of protesters demanding his reinstatement.
