Egypt denies imposing US$1,000 fee on tourists

No decision had been issued in this regard, the Cabinet stressed.

It explained that no new fees have been imposed on tourists entering Egypt, other than the applicable fees for visas to a number of countries.

The Cabinet added that the decision to collect a fee of $1,000 has nothing to do with tourists coming to Egypt for tourism purposes, but rather legalizing and reconciling the status of foreigners residing illegally in the country.
