Do South Africans need an Egyptian visa for tourism?
South Africans will be issued a visa free of charge on arrival in Egypt if they plan to enter Egypt via South Sinai (through Sharm El Sheik, Saint Catherine or Taba airports), provided remaining in South Sinai tourist resorts, staying for up to 14 days, and not continuing to any other city in Egypt. http://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_we… .. A visa is required for visits to the rest of the country, South African passport holders cannot make use of the visa on arrival issue. They need to apply for it through an Egyptian Embassy, however they are exempted form the visa fee and get it free of charge. http://www.mfa.gov.eg/Missions/germany/f… ..
