To enter Egypt, citizens of Ukraine need a passport, the validity of which must be at least 3 or 6 months from the end of the trip? I can't find definitive information.

You won’t find it. A week ago I met a tourist who flew in with a passport, the expiration date of which is February 13. She was not only allowed to go to Egypt on vacation, she also managed to go to Israel on February 10, and on the 12th she had a flight to her homeland. I think it all depends on the customs officials.

Olya, thanks of course for the answer, but it did not inspire. The fact is that my husband's passport ends in September, and we have a vacation in April - we will not have time to make a new one. So the question is, is it worth the risk?

Whether it's worth the risk is up to you.
But in Egypt, usually do not pay attention to the validity of the passport. At least, I have never met complaints about problems with entry due to the validity of the passport. If suddenly (suddenly!) Such a problem arises -
humbly say in private to the border guard "Mr, can I offer you a small baksheesh?" and his heart will soften!

"I think it all depends on the customs officials."
I don't really understand what customs has to do with it.

But there is some kind of legal basis for this ...

Documents required for obtaining a visa on arrival to Egypt (at the airport)
1. Passport (valid for at least two months from the end of the planned tour).
2. Travel voucher.
Upon arrival, a visa in the form of a stamp is glued. The cost of the stamp is 15 USD. The consular fee is not charged from children under 12 years of age, entered in the passport to their parents. A visa, opened upon arrival, gives the right to stay in Egypt for 1 month.

Additional Information:
In accordance with Egyptian law, persons staying in Egypt for more than 30 days are not entitled to fly on charter flights from the airports of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Tourists who have overstayed their visa can only fly from Cairo on a regular flight, having previously paid a fine of 17 USD.

I am ready to argue with those who say that they will not have time to make a passport quickly. She herself gave the passport for exchange on January 17, on January 31 the passport was ready. I received it February 2nd. Unless, of course, you can find on the Internet that we have a problem ... then of course you won’t have time!

Official requirements for the validity of a passport have not been announced (documents that are valid for at least two more months usually do not cause problems). But there is a "recommendation" of the Embassy of Egypt - to enter the country, tourists must have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the end of the trip. At the same time, tourists who have overstayed their visas are not entitled to fly on charter flights from the airports of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. They can leave the country only on a regular flight from Cairo airport.
