"Citizens should consider risks in the region when planning their visit to Sharm el-Sheikh", the ministry said in a statement, according to Anadolu Agency.
Sharm al-Sheikh is a major destination for British tourists, with a number of budget and charter airlines, including Easyjet, Thomson Airways and Thomas Cook Airlines, carrying visitors to the resort over the busy end of year season.
The meetings, which took place on Wednesday and Thursday, included discussions with Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou, National Security Adviser to the President Fayza Aboul Naga and Adviser on Security and Counter-Terrorism Affairs Ahmed Gamal El-Din.
The ambassador said Britain's goal was to protect its own citizens while not damaging the Egyptian economy.
The considerable part of respondents had been questioned before the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday that killed 129 people, and before the FSB confirmed that the Russian A321 had crashed due to an extremist bomb attack.
Egyptian investigators say the cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
The improvised bomb was made from a soft-drink can, according to an image published online in the Islamists' monthly English-language magazine, Dabiq.
The photo of the device showed a Schweppes Gold drink can and what appeared to be a detonator and switch lying on a blue piece of fabric.
The Egyptian government, meanwhile, has continued to assert that the investigations are incomplete.
