Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Budget for Egypt entry paperwork first, then treat park and boat fees as operator-specific line items that should be checked before you pay a deposit. Sharm is generally straightforward, but the details change according to nationality, whether you rely on the South Sinai permit stamp or a full Egypt visa, and whether your itinerary runs by road, day boat, or liveaboard.

Official Egypt eVisa portal pricing. The portal advises applicants to apply online and carry the printed eVisa for arrival checks. |
| Visa on arrival | USD $30 tourism visa, according to airport issuance rules | Eligible passport holders using visa on arrival instead of eVisa | Bank counter in the airport passport-control area for eligible travelers | Experience Egypt states that eligible travelers can obtain a visa on arrival for USD $30. Because airport practice and eligibility can vary by passport, confirm before travel. |
| South Sinai entry permit stamp | Free up to 15 days | Travelers arriving directly into South Sinai for a limited resort-area stay | Issued on arrival at Sharm El Sheikh Airport when eligible | Experience Egypt says direct arrivals to Sharm El Sheikh, Nuweiba, and Taba can receive a free permit stamp for South Sinai stays of up to 15 days. Verify carefully if you will leave South Sinai, join a liveaboard, or stay longer. |
| Ras Mohammed National Park entrance fee | Commonly EUR 7 per person per trip per trip | Many protected-area boat or land excursions booked from Sharm | Collected by licensed dive center or day-boat operator | CDWS states that Ras Mohammed access requires an entrance fee payable directly through diving centers. Current Sharm operators commonly quote about EUR 7 per person per trip, but confirm the exact amount at booking because route and trip style can change what is collected. |
