Passports
Passports valid for at least 6 months beyond date of departure from Egypt required by all.

Visas
You can get your tourist visa from the Egyptian consulate or directly at the airport in Egypt.
Upon your arrival at the Airport go directly to the next bank desk to exchange foreign currency to Egyptian Pounds and pay for your visa before you go to the passport control. This would be the easiest and fastest way to get your visa.

Recheck that your passport was stamped at the passport control with the entry stamp to avoid troubles when you leave.

Don't forget to fill out the form they give you on the plane before you go to the passport control.
