CURRENCY & VISA

Currency

Egyptian pound (LE) is the currency used here and since the exchange rates fluctuates on daily basis you can check the current rate at http://www.xe.com/ucc/.

Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and restaurant.

Entry Visa

All visitors to Egypt must hold passports that are valid for at least six months beyond the proposed date of entry to the country. All western Europeans, all North Americans, Australians and New Zealanders, can get an Entry visa at the airport.

The process is much easier than getting one through a consulate, the visas issued at the airport are only valid for one month. You cannot get them at overland border crossing, or at Aswan, Suez or Nuweiba.

From an embassy or consulate the single-visit and multi-entry types of visa entitle you to stay in Egypt for three months, the latter allows you to go in and out of the country three times within this period. Don't get mislead by statements on the application form that it is 'valid for six months'; This simply means that it has to be used within that period.
