Usual routings

Cairo is the main gateway, but Luxor, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm el-Sheikh all take international flights. Landing at the right airport can save a full day of a short trip — we plan the routing with the itinerary, not after it.
When Bahraini citizens usually travel
Peak Bahraini travel falls over Eid and midsummer. For a first visit built around the monuments, aim for the cooler half of the year.
Egypt month by monthEgypt entry questions — Bahrain passport
Do Bahraini citizens need a visa for Egypt?
No. Bahraini citizens may enter Egypt without a tourist visa for stays of up to 14 days. You need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
How much does an Egypt visa cost for Bahraini citizens?
A single-entry tourist visa costs US$30, whether bought on arrival or applied for online as an e-Visa. The multiple-entry e-Visa costs US$65. The single-entry fee rose from US$25 on 1 March 2026. Visa-on-arrival counters are cash-only, so carry clean US dollar notes.
How long can Bahraini citizens stay in Egypt?
A single-entry tourist visa permits a stay of up to 14 days from the date of entry. Extensions are possible inside Egypt through the passport authorities, but they take time — if you already know you want longer, apply for the multiple-entry e-Visa or plan around the 14-day limit.
What documents do Bahraini citizens need to enter Egypt?
A passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, with at least two blank pages. Immigration may ask for your first night's hotel booking and a return or onward ticket — have both reachable on your phone. If we are arranging your journey, we send you a single confirmation document with everything an officer might ask for.
Should Bahraini citizens get the visa on arrival or apply online?
Both are valid and cost the same. On arrival is faster to organise and takes a few minutes at the airport bank counter. The e-Visa is calmer: you land with the visa already issued and walk straight to passport control, which matters most after a long flight or when arriving late at night with children.
How long is the flight to Egypt from Bahrain?
About 3h 15m from Manama. Typical routings: Manama. Cairo is the main gateway; Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm el-Sheikh also receive international flights directly, which is worth knowing if your trip is built around the Red Sea.
