Egypt is a country that has history written on every dust particle. The magnificent pyramids and other historical ruins, the beautiful Nile river and the cruises on it, the various museums overflowing with ancient gorgeous artifacts – Egypt is a land where you breathe & re-live history for every minute of your presence there. No wonder millions of tourists from all over the world flock to this glorious land every year.
Besides being a tourist hotspot, Egypt is also an important trade destination. It is one of the premier business hubs of the African continent. Due to its proximity to the Gulf countries, it serves as a key trading associate of these nations. So, a large number of business visitors from the GCC nations, especially Dubai, visit Egypt regularly.
The visa requirements for the two types of travelers differ on several grounds. E.g. residents of Dubai don’t require a tourist visa to enter Egypt if they are leaving within 30 days. However, residents of other countries would be required a valid prior visa before deciding to enter Egypt as tourists.
