Hi

I've never been to Sharm but we have to fly via Cairo when travelling to Egypt as we now live in Cyprus having moved here permanently from the UK in 2004.

With regards to your Visa I saw at the weekend that the Government were considering not selling the visas any longer on arrival into Egypt, which will be a real problem for us and we're planning a repeat visit next year to Luxor for another Nile cruise. Paperwork processing in Cyprus is not the simplest of matters :(

This is the link to the article published on 9th September: http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/other-top-stories/egypts-new-tourist-visa-policy-raises-concern.html

I got the link from a guy I follow on twitter who is based in Egypt but I've just gone back to see if he's posted any follow up and found this update: http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/20907.aspx

Looks like there was a big public reaction and they've reversed their thought process :)
