Egypt - New Visa Restriction Policy

in Egypt & Jordan: Timeless Treasures, Ancient Lands
We are scheduled on the November 7 trip to Egypt and Jordan. Today I read that Egypt as a new policy of halting issuing visas for foreign travelers into Egypt.

Tourists travelling in groups will be exempted from the new regulations.

Will those of us on a Tauck tour fall into the category of those travelling in groups or will we need to get a visa before we go? We will be arriving 2 days before the tour begins.

I would also be interested in hearing from other people signed up for the Egypt/Jordan trip on November 7.

    I was over at the Egyptian Consulate this morning and heard nothing about this. Everybody was very nice to me. I think that Egypt is back in business and I wanted to get our visas in advance so we did not have to stand in line when we arrived in Cairo.

    Don't worry about your visa. Tauck rep meets you at airport, and sails you through everything including going to the window for your visa.
