Can I leave Sharm El Sheikh on the 15th day with a Sinai-only entry stamp without overstaying?

From messages by 3 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 35 days ago

TL;DR

Travelers report that departing in the evening of the 15th calendar day on a Sinai-only stamp is generally accepted, as officers tend to count days rather than exact hours. Departure on day 16, including after a flight delay, may create an overstay risk.

What the community said

A traveler with a similar itinerary reports leaving Sharm El Sheikh on the 15th day of a Sinai-only stamp without any questions at border control.

15th day

A practical rule of thumb is to count full calendar days rather than the exact arrival time. An evening departure on 27 September after arriving on 13 September fits within 15 days.

13–27 September

Avoid moving the flight to 28 September: that would be the 16th calendar day, and a delay could become an issue at immigration. Leave a buffer before the stamp expires.

28 September — day 16
