This is a list of Ambassadors of the United States to Egypt. The United States first established diplomatic relations with Egypt in 1848, when President James K. Polk appointed Daniel Smith McCauley as the first envoy to Egypt with the title Consul General. McCauley and his family were transported to Egypt aboard the USS ''Constitution'' in 1849. Relations between Egypt and the United States have been continuous since 1848, except for the period between 1967 and 1974. The then United Arab Republic severed relations with the U.S. following the 1967 Arab–Israeli War; Egypt restored relations following the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The United States Embassy in Egypt is located in Cairo. Robert Stephen Beecroft is the current Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to Egypt. ==Ambassadors== *Daniel Smith McCauley * *Title: Agent/Consul General〔Commissioned as Consul General only and used the title Agent and Consul General with the acquiescence of the Department of State.〕 * *Appointed: August 14, 1848 * *Presented credentials: March 17, 1849 * *Terminated mission: Died at post October 24, 1852 *Richard B.
