At the airport, you always buy a visa! If you are in Hurghada, then for sure! But in Egypt there is a place where this visa is not needed - to be honest, I don’t remember this name now, if it’s important, I can write later!

By decision of the Prime Minister of Egypt, the visa fee for organized tourists arriving in Egypt from Russia for the period from June 1 to August 31, 2012 was canceled.

kristinkaa, instead of a visa, you could get a Sinai stamp, for free.
аватар kristinkaa
Yes, yes, exactly, but it does not work everywhere !!!

The decision to temporarily abolish visas was taken by the Egyptian government at the end of May, but due to bureaucratic delays, it came into force only on June 11. At the same time, the procedure for issuing visas has not changed: they are issued directly at the airport for a period of a month or 15 days in the Sinai Peninsula.

At the airport you pay 15 dollars and you will be happy. If you were planning a vacation on the Sinai Peninsula, then you could do without 15 dollars. And so, Hurghada is not in the Sinai.

With a "Sinai stamp" you cannot travel outside Sinai and visit other territories of Egypt, you must also leave Egypt through the Sinai checkpoint.

pora-vTur, It's a sin for you, as a pro in tourism, not to know about the abolition of visas for Russians :)) And the topikstarter is from Russia! And he (she) does not need to pay anything at the airport of Hurghada and Sharma!

PolikSVT, did not see that the question came from Russia! Therefore, the answer was given for the citizens of Ukraine.

PolikSVT, with a "Sinai stamp" IS POSSIBLE to travel outside Sinai, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to visit other territories of Egypt. Those. you can travel to Israel, Jordan, but you cannot travel in Egypt. By the way, the Sinai visa, as it turned out, allows you to travel to the Ras Mohamed reserve, although at first our guide at the hotel said the opposite.

It's good that Russia agreed on a visa-free regime at least for the summer of 2012, it's a pity that Ukraine did not do this.
With the Sinai stamp, it was previously possible to visit Ras Mohammed only from a boat, and by bus the tour was on a visa.
аватар seeges
Yes, I won’t say about the bus, maybe you can’t take the bus. Traveled, or rather swam, on a boat.
аватар nadin65
In Ras Mohammed it is more interesting by bus, you will see mangroves, a magical bay (lake of desires) and a crack in the land formed by an earthquake. And on the boat, alas, there is no access to land.
Entry to Egypt became free for Russians
From June 1 to August 31, 2012 http://www.interfax.ru/society/news.asp?id=248223
