The Government of Egypt has recently been circulating a list of nationalities (primarily African states but some CIS states also) whose citizens are blacklisted from obtaining transit visas on arrival in Cairo and must remain airside at the airport - including pax in C/F class.
when we made the transit tour, we got no visa. We had been whisked past the immigration without our passports/boarding passes, these stayed at the airport with MS staff, who also led us to bypass the departure passport check after we had returned from the tour.
