scammer with visa
Arrived in Sharm and did not pay 5 c.u. for issuing a card, but he filled it out himself and again turned to the counter with the question "where to go next?" The answer was: visa, control. I went to the ticket office where they sell visas and explain that I’m not going anywhere from charm, my friend pretends that he doesn’t understand anything and pulls his hand for the currency. Sitting on the bus, I find out that many visas are not bought. Here is such an Egyptian scam with visas. Why don’t the travel agency explain, or did the meeting party explain there upon arrival. NO, everything is done in a quiet, shoeing Russians. Share how to proceed step by step upon arrival Sharm.

More than once we wrote that on the card you need to write Sinai only (Sinai only, there are a lot of design examples on the Internet) and with a card and a passport for passport control. You went to the counter where they sell cards, but this is not visa control (it is further down the corridor, where the police are sitting in special booths). Naturally, the workers who sell visas do not understand practically Russian and will not explain anything to you.
Everyone who wants to get a Sinai strain gets it (after reading the information on the Internet). It is more profitable for a tour operator to sell you a visa, rather than help you supply a free stamp. There is an internet for this.

Procedure:
1. Get a card from the tour operator and refuse to fill out their services, take a pen and fill out the card according to the model: Last name and first name, birthday, hotel name (fill in in Latin), on the back of the card, in the largest field, write sinai only ( Sinai only)
2. We pass further along the corridor and look for passport control (the police are sitting in special booths, as in principle at any airport). You give them your passport and a completed card, get a stamp and then go to baggage claim.

If the ticket is for 3 weeks, you need to buy a visa. Even if you do not take excursions.

And if the ticket is for 3 weeks, then you can go to Israel in the middle of your vacation and again get a free Sinai stamp for 15 days!

orbittours "You turned to the counter where they sell cards, ..." Correct it, otherwise you will completely confuse a person.
I flew to Sharm on 8 Jan. from Pegasus, I was surprised, but the Pegasovskys themselves explained to tourists about the visa and about the stamp, and they took money only from those for whom they filled out the cards - $ 2

Thanks for the clarifications, first of all I blame myself, but as Tati1144 wrote that Pegasus explained everything to his tourists. That's what you want to achieve from all operators - this is an honest performance of their duties and care for the wallets of their fellow citizens. Thanks again. And why do they put a stamp with numbers on the cards, but at passport control they take them without numbers?

You can get a Sinai stamp if you don’t go on excursions, somehow Israel or Cairo. But you will stay in Sinai!). That's the whole mystery.

I correct myself: "You went to the counter where they sell cards" should be read like this: "You went to the counter where they sell visas."
In general, you can see details about a visa and an example of registration here: http://orbittours.ru/turistam/

The Sinai stamp is valid for all excursions: except for Cairo, Luxor and the races of Muhammad on the bus (tu lana181 to Israel, you can just get by with a stamp). The stamp is valid for 15 days, if you arrive for more days you must buy a visa.

when you arrive, you fill out the card and the period of stay, the border guard will not stamp you if you stay in Sinai for more than 15 days.
By the way, there were precedents with my tourists when the border guards reduced the legal period of stay in Sinai (when buying a visa 1 month) - and set the validity period to 7-10 days. I don't know what caused it....

and by the way, two were returned back - they did not have a visa. To make it clearer, when you go to Israel, you leave the Sinai Peninsula. Therefore, "Sinai only" does not work.

lana_181 Cool, in general. Here, some girls have been living in Sharm for many years, orbittours, for example .. And not that we, tourists (and no matter how many times we have been to Egypt - 1 or 101), anyway, they know better.
And to make it completely clear - when you go to Israel, you do NOT leave the Sinai Peninsula.
I was on ex. Israel + Jordan (2 days) in March 2013, no visa required. I don't think anything has changed since last year.
And as for clinging on ..., they also clung to us: why are such bags big, what is in them, are you relatives, where do you work? Pts. Lots of questions, I can't remember them all. The main thing is to answer as calmly as possible. They are not interested in the answer to the question, as such, but in how we answer. We look at them or look away (psychologists))). At first we were somewhere in the middle in the queue, but while they were busy with us, at that time others passed quickly (they were asked only a few questions), as a result, we (there were three of us) passed the border at the very last. Then they called us terrorists on the bus))) And the fact that someone was returned ... Well, you never know. Maybe they were rude to the border guards or they were drunk. We are from the queue, but from another bus (there were foreigners) they also wanted to return, they quickly called

they quickly phoned the accompanying guide and he settled everything (not quickly, I had to persuade) In my opinion, they were tired and a little noisy, but they didn’t do anything special. And for what no one understood us at all.
When they say to me: "There is nowhere such a humiliating customs procedure as in Russia", I answer: You were not in Israel from Egypt"

rummaged through the depths of my memory)) and still I think that yes, when entering Israel it is not necessary, but to Cairo, yes. We were there and there, but by the way, these two were sent back just because of the visa !!. It was before our eyes, even before the border crossing. At first, they checked everyone and issued some kind of cards there .. so they were sent back without a visa. So this is also a reality. And you still leave the Sinai-Egyptian part))

When I arrived on vacation in September 2012, I did not need to buy a visa for 15 dollars. I really wanted to go on an excursion to Alexandria, it is two days, through Cairo. I definitely needed a visa, so I went and begged them to sell this visa to me.
