The Egyptian government has introduced new rules in response to an energy crisis, affecting tourism and daily life. Visa costs are rising, with the 'visa on arrival' increasing to $30 from March 2026, while the electronic visa remains at $25. Restaurants and shops will close earlier, at 9 pm, with exceptions on weekends. Economic pressures have led to energy-saving measures, including reduced lighting and potential power cuts. Despite these challenges, popular tourist areas remain relatively safe, although travel warnings exist for some regions. The future of these restrictions depends on energy supply.
