Do residents of Movenpick Taba pay the NIS 101 exit fee?
Already rested in Movenpick Taba. We liked it, we go again. We go from there for a walk to Eilat. Previously, they paid a fee for leaving Israel, but now it seems to have been canceled for Movenpick and Hilton?

We were there in December 2011-January 2012. They explained to us at the border this way: if we flew to Egypt at Taba airport, we didn’t have to pay. But since we will go further to Sharm for a flight home, i.e. outside the border zone, then you have to pay.

In principle, this fee is valid for 14 days. Those. paid once, and you can cross the border an unlimited number of times within two weeks. only barcodes need to be saved. (Though things may have changed this year)

According to the rules, you don’t need to pay, a hotel voucher certified by the hotel manager is enough to confirm that you are currently registered at this hotel and temporarily living. It's worth the risk, you won't get it right on the forehead, a maximum of 10 meters from passport control to the ticket office and buy this fee.

Risk what, don't you understand? We took our voucher with us. It was indicated that we flew to Sharm and therefore we were told to pay. Now, if you come from Israel to Movenpick, live and then back to Israel, then you definitely don’t need to pay.

Thanks everyone! On December 13, we will be there, we will check everything on ourselves and write :) In general, this time the plans are to go to Eilat and travel independently around Israel on regular buses. So I traveled to Tunisia in June. I like it:)

Been to Movenpick 2 times during this (2012) year. Both times we went to Israel. NEVER has anyone paid anything at the Israeli border. They paid 75 Egyptian pounds at the exit from the Taba border zone to the airport. At what once we flew to Sharm, and the second time the airport of Taba. When they arrived in Sharm, they foolishly paid for an Egyptian visa. The second time they were already smarter and "took" only free Sinai. So about the payment at the Israeli border, it was either someone mixed up something, or it was in those days when Israel was a visa country for Russians. Now in Israel visa grazhd. The Russian Federation is not needed and there are no extortions of any kind.

I've been looking for it myself, but I can't find it. Someone can tell you where you can find official information about crossing the borders. In particular, Egypt-Israel-Egypt. We paid because The Israelis put us before this fact, and at my words that we should not pay, they simply turned away and continued to engage in layered deeds. In this situation, they are the masters and we had to act at their behest. Maybe we paid for nothing, as denega54 writes. But what is the reason for your refusal to pay the fee????

Controversial topic. Here is a paste from one of the resources:
Who does not have to pay the Israeli departure tax in Taba? First of all, based on the Camp David Agreement between the two countries mentioned, the Taba area is considered a special zone. We are talking about a piece of land from the border and ending with the hotel "Tobya" two kilometers to the south. On these two kilometers there are at least ten hotels where thousands of tourists live. As you know, when leaving Israel, everyone is forced to pay 106 shekels ($32) a border fee. Then, already on the Egyptian side, the tourist is forced to pay a 75 pounds ($14) entry fee. At the same time, only those who plan to travel outside the two-kilometer zone of Taba mentioned above pay.
In other words, if you, say, live in a Hilton-Taba hotel, then you do not have to pay an exit fee. Even if you cross the border every half an hour. To avoid paying this amount, you must provide proof to the border guards that you live in the Taba area. For example, booking from a hotel.
Who has to pay £75 to enter Egypt?
Only those who plan to stay outside the Taba area pay. The scheme is the same as with the Israeli exit fee. If you live in...

By the way, how much does a taxi cost from the Taba checkpoint to the Dead Sea and back with a 1 hour wait at the sea? At least orient on the price pls. I watched a bus from Eilat to MM - one ticket costs almost 50 shekels, plus you have to get back to Eilat from the checkpoint. So, I think, is it not cheaper to take a taxi, if the three of us.

Lived in Movenpick Taba. Everyone is currently paying a one-time exit fee from Israel! Moreover, the customs officers in the window where they paid this fee do not want to change the first coupons for new ones (yellow free ones) and force them to pay the departure fee again! Like they don't know anything! Pay every time! .. it’s good that the Duty manager was called from the reception of Movenpick Taba .. I had to go to the border again the next day and then, at the command of the duty manager, they returned the money for the second pass and changed it to yellow to get the first white coupon .. in short, a specific hemorrhage .. a mess as in an owl
