Thanks!
Warning for NON-Group travellers to Egypt from 15th May 2015

Visa on arrival (the slip we queue and pay $30 or so to stick in passports before passport control) is discontinued for solo travellers.

Something along lines Egypt junta feels allows terorists etc free entry as no pre-checks and junta thinks tourist $$$'s come from "TOUR Groups" (Read Thomas Cook etc, type group tourists) so allow VOA just for groups. Grrrr they forget individual travellers spend far more per day/trip that someone on $800 2week Sharm AI cheapie.

Now I can't easily go in June like I planned Would need to apply for Embassy Visa in my home country firts ! !
