So now Egypt has put the cost of a visa on arrival up to $60, was wondering if I can avoid the fee altogether.
Was thinking of booking DAR-(somewhere)-CAI (36 hours)-LON and LON-CAI 4ish hours-(somewhere)-DAR. I'd want to collect and re-check bags on the way back.
Timatic says:
Transiting without a visa is possible for:
Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 48 hours.
This does not apply if transiting through Borg Elarab Airport (HBE).
Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 6 hours if transiting through Borg Elarab Airport (HBE).
Leaving the airport is permitted for passengers with transit time longer than 6 hours. Passengers with transit time of less than 6 hours may leave the transit area but not the airport.
Has anyone ever made this work?
