It is necessary if you will rest for more than 14 days or travel outside the Sinai Peninsula.

A visa is bought in two cases: 1. If the period of stay in the Sinai Peninsula exceeds 14 days; 2. If the tourist plans to travel (on excursions) outside the Sinai Peninsula.
If only a beach option is planned, a vacation in a hotel, then a visa is not required.

even if you didn’t buy a visa, but decided to go somewhere, it’s not a problem to buy it.

alexfili "Where can I buy a visa in Sharm if I'm already in Sharm with a Sinai stamp?" You don't need to buy a visa. You already have a visa, when going through passport control Sinai Only - it's just free. Further, to visit, except for the Snai Peninsula, registration is required. Can be done at the airport or through a tour operator

I got confused with the terms. From Sharma, having Sinai Only, you can get permission to leave the peninsula. But the deadlines you need to stay Sinai Only observe 14 days

Thank you all for your reply. I was in Egypt 5 years ago. I thought maybe something had changed. At the airport, Sharma filled out a tourist questionnaire, where I indicated that I would not travel outside the island and did not pay anything.

An Egyptian visa is not required to travel to Israel, a Sinai stamp is enough

Natasha59 do not mislead people! There are NO!!! options to apply for a visa at the airport or in the city if you have a Sinai stamp.
Only leaving Egypt, for example, to Israel or Jordan, and re-entering Egypt with passing the border and buying a visa.
You can only apply for a visa extension at the passport office in Nabq if you stay for more than a month.
And what registration are you talking about?
Registration with the Egyptian Tourist Police is required for citizens of the following countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, Israel, India
How do you imagine getting a visa at the airport? You go out into the clean zone and again go through the border guards?! Yes, you will not even be allowed into the registration area without a ticket. There are no such options!

"From Sharma, having Sinai Only, you can get permission to leave the peninsula"
What kind of permission to leave the peninsula? What does it look like?
Sinai stamp is not a visa! This is a permit to stay in South Sinai and only in it.
The decision is made at the entrance to South Sinai. Either a visa - and you can travel around Egypt (you can extend your visa), or SinaiOnly - and then you only rest there for no more than 14 days, then you must leave Egypt.
While you are there, you cannot change it.

Sinai visa in 2019 has a number of restrictions and features:
The document is issued for up to fifteen days.
Movement around the country is limited, it is allowed to visit attractions only within the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula.
For divers, it does not allow access to the main place for diving - the sunken ship Tiselgorm. You can also go to the monastery of St. Catherine, located at the foot of Mount Sinai, better known as Mount Moses.
Departure to cities that tourists usually seek, such as Cairo, Luxor, Hurghada, is also impossible.
The Sinai Peninsula on the map borders on Israel, so you can visit the ancient city of Bethlehem.
If the fifteen-day period has already expired, and the tourist has not yet left the country, he will face the payment of penalties in the amount of $30.

Of course 15 days, something I slowed down. I myself always fly to Sharm for 15 days)))
And the fines have gone up. According to the new rules, for an excess of up to three months inclusive - 1050 pounds - 60 dollars.

alexfili, a visa is issued at the tourist police department.
mindguru, or you can learn more about obtaining a visa at the tourist police department when entering with a Sinai stamp. What documents are needed and where is the tourist police station in Sharm. I have never heard of such a thing.
Here is how the VISA purchased at the border of Egypt is extended anywhere:
The first extension for 1 month: you come to the Passport and Immigration Office Gauzet in Nabq, fill out a form, pay a fee (15-20 pounds, about $ 1). A day later, you go again and put a mark in your passport.
