Looks like it's true. The entire Internet is full of this news. They say it's because of the increased cost of airport security. And tours, by the way, also rose in price by 30%. If they rise again in April, the level of price increase will surpass last year.

Very interesting .... I'm right in confusion. I think for Egypt $ 60 for a visa is expensive.

To mainland Egypt, perhaps, to Sinai (Sharm and Hurghada), it is unlikely, there was a visa-free regime anyway!
So do not panic colleagues!

Sorry... I really made a mistake about Hurghada, because out of habit I connected them with Sharm. But after all, the topic of the question on the forum sounds: Question about Sharm el-Sheikh.
http://visasam.ru/oformlenie/afrikaoceaniya/nuzhna-li-visa-v-hurgadu.html
So my opinion on the abolition of the visa-free regime for Sharm remains the same.

you don’t need to have an opinion on a visa to Sharm, you just need to read what the Kampdavid agreements are

This means that hotels in Hurghada will suffer from lost tourists. Repetists will still travel, but newcomers will think before overpaying for visas.

It's a pity, of course, the hotels are already empty. It was possible to equalize everyone and cancel the shinai only and no one would have suffered much and they would have earned some money.

On the official website of the Ministry of Egypt there is no information about the rise in price. So let's see.

If a visa to Hurghada will be 60 dollars. then tours to Sharm will rise in price by the same 60 dollars. Tour operators will equalize prices. But this year you can go to Turkey without a visa and a foreign passport at all.

this is a completely predictable decision - you need to patch up a leaky budget with something ... you can’t increase prices for alcohol in Egypt, and for bread too - who needs food riots. They will travel the same way - even with visas, the price is much lower than the Maldives and Seychelles, Thailand and Sri Lanka (especially autumn-winter), and in Turkey there is a very short season: May-September.

CAIRO, 25 February. /Corr. TASS Dina Drunk/. The Egyptian authorities have decided to withdraw their decision to increase the cost of a tourist visa by 2.5 times. This was reported by the newspaper "Akhbar al-Yaum" with reference to its informed sources.

"then the Turks are smart people, they are also in a crisis now, and look, prices will be lowered))"
And why should the Turks reduce prices this year? Everything seems to be going well for them in terms of sales - they even decide whether to close early bookings a month earlier. a number of hotels at some TOs have already stopped in June, because. exhausted quotas. Those hotels. which did not work last year due to unprofitability, are actively preparing for the opening this season. The prices for RB are completely "tasteless" and for the summer period correspond to last year's "in season". The Turks are just in anticipation ... They even change the MOT along the way, spitting on the fact that they were selling tours for the season from other MOTs - they go under full exclusive changing conditions...
