TL;DR
Travelers report that the official visa-on-arrival price is US$30, while tour operator desks may charge US$32. Look for the airport’s glass visa windows rather than your tour operator’s desk.
At Hurghada Airport, follow the signs and announcements showing a US$30 visa price after leaving the aircraft. One traveler recommends avoiding the queue promoted by tour operator representatives, where many passengers paid US$32.
If you only have a US$100 note, travelers report using it to pay for the visa and then spending the change in shops or on excursions. Guides may sometimes exchange money, but an Anex guide reportedly made this conditional on buying an excursion.
After leaving the plane, pay for and have the visa sticker placed in your passport at a desk, then continue through the main hall to passport control. Visa inspection is followed by baggage reclaim and the transfer exit.
