Sinai Only Entry Permit (تصريح دخول سيناء فقط)

The Sinai Only Entry Permit, often referred to as the 'Sinai Stamp,' is a free, 15-day entry facility specifically for tourists visiting the South Sinai region. It is ideal for travelers focusing on beach vacations, diving, and excursions within the Sinai Peninsula, including popular destinations like Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, and Nuweiba. This permit is issued digitally at the immigration desk upon arrival at designated airports and is intended to encourage tourism in the Red Sea resort areas without the need for a full tourist visa.

Travelers using this permit are strictly confined to the Sinai Peninsula; leaving this zone to visit other parts of Egypt, such as Cairo or Luxor, invalidates the permit and requires a full tourist visa. Because the permit cannot be extended, those planning a longer stay or wishing to explore the mainland must obtain a standard tourist visa instead. It is a highly specialized entry method that offers significant cost savings for short, resort-focused trips but requires careful itinerary planning to ensure compliance with geographic restrictions.
