steve_b_wales Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Does anyone know if you have to purchase a separate Visa ( apart from the tourist entry Visa) to visit a different part ie we are travelling to Hurghada but may want to visit Cairo. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedge Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 If you fly in via Hurghada and buy the usual $25 tourist visa on entry, that should cover you for 30 days and covers Cairo. It's only if you fly into Sharm and buy a cheaper `Sinai only` visa (with a view to not leaving the Sinai region), that you would need the full $25 tourist visa to go to Cairo. From what you say, you should be covered. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/egypt/visas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell foul of that many years ago on my first trip to Sharm. I didn't know the difference and they weren't about to explain it to me!
