We hope everyone stays safe and well during these difficult times. The people of Egypt look forward to seeing you again anytime from 1 July. Egypt's Ministry of Tourism is reopening the Red Sea tourist areas, because the resorts are mostly spacious or open-air spaces, with a warm dry atmosphere and with relatively low levels of covid-19 transmission.
Egypt has now received a safe travel stamp from the World Travel and Tourism council in recognition of the fact that it has adopted the WTTC's recommended health and hygiene standards.

IMPORTANT VISA ADVICE/WARNING
Please take care to buy your entry visa on arrival from the BANK KIOSK and NOT through anyone, including any travel agent, offering to organise one for you. At the bank kiosk you will only pay 25 USD or the equivalent in euros, GBP, Swiss francs or any exchangeable currency according to the bank exchange rate on the day.
Some people have been persuaded to allow 'agents' to help them which has often meant them paying far more than they needed to. The bank kiosk is located on your left hand side just as you walk into the arrivals terminal. Be aware that anyone, including tour agents, might try to redirect you but just politely decline any help.
The bank kiosk is open to all international flights on arrival 24/7. It belongs to the National Bank of Egypt. You can also exchange some money to Egyptian pounds but ask for small change as it's often difficult to exchange large denomination notes at hotels.
GOOD NEWS ! From 1 August 2019, all museums, tombs, temples and pyramids in Egypt may be photographed for FREE with mobile phones (without flash). This was officially confirmed last night by Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the High Council of Antiquities.

Twenty years ago Marsa Alam was little more than a sleepy fishing village, but the region's beautiful beaches and its' virgin reefs are set to make it a prime holiday spot. Our advice is to go before the crowds discover it.Much of Marsa's spectacular coral reefed coastline remains virtually untouched by man and the region offers spectacular and magical moments such as this video of Dennis the Dugong on YouTube.
