Egypt Hikes Visa Fee to $30 for UAE Travelers

Egypt raises its visa-on-arrival fee to USD 30, impacting UAE-based travelers who now face higher costs for Nile cruises and pyramid treks amid tighter mobility budgets. This change squeezes spontaneous desert adventures and Red Sea dives, prompting planners to budget extra for pharaonic ruins under golden sunsets. UAE expats, verify fees at entry points and consider advance e-visas to avoid lines. While pricier, Egypt's timeless allure still beckons with spice-scented souks and eternal sands.
