SINAI ONLY?
I heard that at Sharma airport you can not put a visa, but ask for a Sinai stamp, which is also valid for trips to Israel and Jordan. Anyone in the know, please share!

Everything is simple.
It is these words: "SINAI ONLY" you must say to the border guard at passport control upon arrival.
Save $15.

We went in December, they put the Sinai stamp. Guides insistently offer to buy a stamp for 15 bucks, ask them only for a migration card, which you fill out yourself, otherwise the guides charge another 5 bucks for this service. Many people pay 20 bucks like that. At passport control, say "Sinai only" and go. The stamp is valid for 15 days, in the territory of EASTERN Sinai. You can go to Israel and Jordan on it, but not to the African part of Egypt and northern Sinai.

Unfortunately, with a Sinai only stamp, you will not be able to travel to Israel or Jordan, as this stamp is only valid in the Sinai Peninsula. You will not be able to travel outside of Sharm. You won't be able to travel to Cairo, Luxor, anywhere outside of Sharm. Therefore, do not take risks. Boil this visa and you will rest in peace. I live here, and I can say that the entry rules change very often. Therefore, do not take risks, this is not some already a large amount for your own peace of mind.

if you are not going to Cairo and Luxor and Ras Muhammad by bus, you can not buy a visa and put yourself a Sinai stamp. You can easily go to Israel and Jordan. anya belevtsova you put egypt in your profile and you don't know where you can get a sinai visa?
the Sinai stamp is valid for 15 days and if you live in sharm more you will have to buy a visa (it is valid for 1 month)

Orbiturs answered everything correctly. With a Sinai stamp, you can enter and leave the Sinai Peninsula, but not to continental Africa (its Egyptian part). Checked on myself. Read my review "The anniversary of the revolution or Sinai only" - we rested in Sharm and went on an excursion to Israel.

In principle, obtaining a Sinai visa is no different from a regular one.
1) You fill out the migration card in the same way, only write SINAI ONLY on the back. Go to the border guards and with a confident look ask for "PLEASE SINAI STAMP". If you're lucky, your passport will be stamped.
2) With a Sinai stamp, you are limited in movement and will only be able to travel along the Sharm-Taba road, for example, visiting the Ras Mohammed reserve will not be possible. It will also be impossible to travel to Cairo and Luxor. But to Israel and Jordan - you can.
For more details, see Wikipedia in the section "Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty".
3) The term of the Sinai visa is 15 days. In case of violation of the deadline: if the violation is noticed at the airport, a fine of 157 pounds, if in another place, then 3 days in prison and deportation at your expense.
4) This visa regime is governed by the provisions of the following documents:
- peace treaty between Egypt and Israel dated 03/26/1979.
- additional decision of 1981 to this peace treaty.

yes, they check and do not let you in if there is no visa (I send it myself and I know that it will not work if there is no visa). the fact is that in the direction of Cairo there is a police post immediately behind the charm. Here is there and universal verification of passports. no visa return people back.

We went to Cairo and to the nature reserve, so the bus just stopped, the policeman looked through the window, and no passports were checked.

SW. tourists from January 1, 2013, in order to visit Ras Mohammed on a yacht, you also need a visa stamp for $ 15 both for a trip to Ras Mohammed by bus, and for a trip to Ras Mohammed Island. Tyrant now you should not have a photocopy of your passport as before, but the original of your passport.

a copy of the passport is already enough for Tiran. And you don’t need a visa to enter the reserve on a yacht.

Updates for early 2018:
The visa fee is $25. The validity of the SINAI ONLY stamp is 14 days (only 13 nights on the tour).
But travel agencies carry tourists to Ras Mohammed by bus without a visa. Passports are not checked. I'm not entirely sure that this is entirely in line with the letter of the law, but that's how it works.
