Before you fly

  • Visa: if you fly into Sharm and stay less than 15 days in Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba or Taba, you get a free entry stamp at the airport. For trips beyond these resorts, such as Cairo or Luxor, you need a full visa. Our visa checker explains which one you need.
  • Clocks: the UK puts its clocks back on 25 October 2026, but Egypt only on the night of Thursday 29 October. From 25 to 29 October, Sharm is three hours ahead of the UK instead of two. Check your pickup time in Egypt time.
  • Getting to your hotel: a car from the airport to Naama Bay takes about 15 to 25 minutes. A fixed-price pickup, booked before you fly, means no haggling after a long flight.
