Can you clarify about the visa?
From time to time you read that when you arrive at the airport of Sharm, it is not necessary to pay $ 15 for a visa if you sit in Sharm for 10 days and do not leave it. Is this really the case at present? Will you run into a scandal referring to the agreement?

I will add. Some organizational nuances that did not exist last year. and encountered in October in Sharm. Previously, migration cards just lay on the tables. Now tour operators have cards, and where you write Sinai Only, there is a stamp of the tour operator. The representative of the travel agency stood to his death and did not want to give a card. The question is solved like this - go to the border guard and ask for cards, boldly bypassing the queue). He has no right not to give a card, this is their job. Communicated with them though in elementary English, everything went pretty friendly. I took 11 pieces, for everyone who wanted Sinai visas, smiled, asked again, exactly 11 and gave 12)

Zetter and what kind of host did you have? This happens at regular intervals and depends on the receiving party. Well done that you did not fall for their provocation.

We were hosted by AnexTour.
And last year TezTour, so there were no problems there. Migration cards were handed out on the plane.

I just read that the Egyptian authorities were canceling the visa fee until September 1st to attract tourists. And in the news of Egypt I read that "the authorities again began to charge fees for visas from foreign tourists from September 1." Can someone report on the state of affairs there at the present time and everything that was written above has already been written in the past?

Canceled for citizens of the Russian Federation upon arrival in Hurghada. This does not apply to the Sinai visa.

They canceled the visa from June 1 to August 31 throughout Egypt. Now if you want to fly to Sharm you have the choice to buy a visa or put a Sinai stamp

A visa is a visa. The Sinai Only stamp is not a visa. This is instead of her. So it does not matter if the visa is paid or free. "Sinai Only" operates separately (in parallel), instead of a visa. And indeed, the representatives of AnexTour had to gnaw out immigration cards "with battles", because. Well, they do business on them, selling visas not for $15, but for $17. I had to repeat “no need for a visa, Sinai Only!” 5 times before they parted with imm cards :-)

The SINAI STAMP appeared after the signing of the "Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel" in Washington on March 26, 1979.
As a result of the 1978 Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement that ended the war between the two countries.
If your plans do not include travel outside Sinai towards Africa, then you are not required to buy a visa stamp for $15. Just remember that once you receive a free stamp for 15 days, you will not be able to travel to other parts of Egypt. You will be dropped off the bus at the very first police checkpoint, of which there are many on the roads of the country.

In the resorts, you can move freely by yourself and by public transport. Tours of the Sinai stamp are available to most, including Israel.
With Sinai stamp NOT POSSIBLE to visit
1) Ras Mohammed on the BUS,
2) Cairo by bus,
3) Cairo by plane,
4) Luxor on a plane and the rest is Africa!
The rest of the excursions are ALLOWED to visit with a Sinai stamp - Ras Mohammed on a BOAT, Petra, Mount Moses, Monastery of St. Catherine and Israel as well. As well as motorcycle safaris, super safaris, water parks and others in the place!
On an excursion to the Colored Canyon, a passport is taken at a checkpoint in front of the canyon, but it is returned on the way back.
