    Hi there, I am American and I have went to Egypt 2 times in the past 2 years. You can get your visa when you arrive in the Cairo airport for $15 and it only takes a few minutes. If you decide to get your visa while you are in the USA it will take about a month before you get your passport returned to you with the visa in it, but you can expedite it and it only takes a week, but costs a lot more. The first time I went to Egypt I got mine from here in the USA because I wanted to make sure there was not going to be any problems, and when I arrived in Cairo I didn't want to go to the visa line and wait, I just wanted to get in the check line and go. Either way is good, but I would recommend getting it from your country - if you have enough time before you leave.

    the process is very short. You can be issued a visa right upon your arrival to Cairo's airport. It costs only about $25

    One to 3 Month Visas can be purchased on arrival at the Airport from most countries. Approx. $15 US for a one month Visa.

    You will need to have your money ready to go to the Bank on arrival. They will sell you two stamps to place in your passport on a blank page before going through customs.

    I live in Cairo! Why don't you try going to the Egyptian embassy? Or go to your embassy and they'll tell you what you need to do.

    as you have already been told it is a simple process to buy it at the airport, but they will want you to pay in $ not Egyptian pounds
