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.
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.
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.
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.
