    packing for egypt - & do i need a visa?

    ha ha - packing for sharm tonight, any tips or things to consider???

    also do i need to get a visa on arrival? my family will be staying in sharm, but i intend to do a dive or three, do i need to get a visa if i am boat diving? or visiting any marine reserves??
    or can dive centres sort out visas as and when required?

    thanks

    If you are just staying in Sharm you do not need one just an entry permission stamp.
    For diving Ras Mo you will need one £10 at the airport.

    You will all need a visa on arrival so if it isn't included in your package don't forget the correct cash to pay for it in the airport on arrival.

    From the Egyptian Embassy website:-
    UK and EU nationals travelling to Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba resorts ONLY, for a maximum of 14 DAYS, do not require a visa prior to travelling as a free entry permission stamp will be granted upon arrival.
    If you intend to travel outside of the above mentioned areas you MUST obtain a Visa.
    So you need one as Ras Mohammed is outside of the Sharm area but the family don't if they are staying in Sharm.

    OUCH - three weeks back they were still fifteen in Sharm...

    fifteen Pounds, fifteen US Dollars or fifteen Euros (they then messed around with the change).

    I did suggest fifteen Turkish Lire, but they weren't having it.
