Travel & Visas
All foreigners entering Egypt (with the exception of those from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malta and Arab countries) must obtain a visa either from an Egyptian consulate overseas or from the airport on arrival. The cost of a tourist visa at the airport is $15.
Upon arrival, your passport must be valid at least for six months. It is not necessary to get the tourist visa if you are planning to just stay within the Sinai between Sharm el Sheikh and Taba. Instead you can get a Sinai entry stamp, free of charge, allowing you to stay for 2 weeks. If you plan on going to Ras Mohammed (diving or by land) or Thistlegorm then an Egyptian visa is required. There is no way of obtaining a visa after you leave the airport.
From the 1st March all international flights departing from Egypt, regardless of the destination and nationality, will be subject to the same EU restrictions on liquids allowed into the cabin.
