To be honest I went by agency and got my visa at Hurghada Internation Airport. We received small cards on which we had to write our basic personal information and we had to pay a small fee of about $15 at the local bank stand. Then the bankteller stuck the “visa” (this is in the form of stamps) and then we took the cards to the customs officer who took them and put a seal in our passports. No pictures nor any other documents were necessary.
I am sure that they should follow the same procedure at the Cairo Airport.
Egypt is a beautiful country and I wish you enjoy your trip. There was one thing that bothered me – the baksheesh. Everybody wants baksheesh from police officers to room maids, so be sure to learn the Egyptian currency so that you don’t give more than you planned.
All the best.

Thanks to everyone for offering your experiences- it is making the trip seem alot less daunting. I am sure it will be great- hot, but none- the less wonderful. I have been asking people all the time about their travels and just happened across this site and thought why not. So thanks again for all the help. The two things alot of people tell me is 1. Do not drink the water and 2. bring your own bathroom tissue. I should be arriving in Cairo at about 8 PM – so I hope there is not too mych of a wait for the visa but I will make sure I havethe form filled out before I leave here. As for where I am satying- I will have the address of a hotel that I will be staying at for the first night in Cairo- this is all information I need to get from my friend whenever we connect online.
