Do the new visa rules apply to Russians?
I read in the news that the rules for issuing visas are changing in Egypt. Allegedly, now you will have to apply to the embassy for a visa. This applies to tourists from the USA, Europe, Australia, the Persian Gulf, Latin America and Asia. Russia is Europe? Will these rules affect us or is everything the same for us?

On the same Mail they wrote that this does not concern Russia:
These changes do not concern Russia, at least not a word about this in the resolution of the Egyptian government, Maya Lomidze, executive director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia, told Vestyam.Ru.
“A government resolution has been adopted that residents of foreign countries must obtain a visa at the Egyptian consulate in their country, but Russia is not yet on the list of countries,” she said.
And, nevertheless, ATOR is waiting for clarifications on this matter. “We were confirmed that Russia is not yet on this list, the changes do not concern us. No official document has been sent to us,” Lomidze said. She noted that for other countries, these changes are being introduced from next week, and they, most likely, have been sent some kind of explanation.

Found this information about this.
Visa at Egyptian airports will be issued only to tourists in groups
Egyptian entry visas directly at the country's airports will be issued only to tourists traveling in groups, the Egyptian Cabinet said in a statement published on Friday by the Egyptian media. According to them, the issuance of visas at airports to persons arriving in the country for non-tourist purposes is prohibited. In this case, visitors to Egypt "need to go through the usual procedures for obtaining an entry visa." The statement did not say whether visas will be issued at the airport to tourists traveling individually and from what date the new rules will come into effect. At the same time, travel companies "must notify the authorities of violations of these rules by foreigners."
Currently, tourists from a number of countries, including Russia, to obtain a visa at airports in Egypt, it is enough to present a valid passport and pay the appropriate fee. Experts believe that this measure will not affect the reduction of tourist flows to Egypt. "In any case, this does not apply to the millions of tourists who come to the country on package tours,
