I have been to Luxor airport before and remember queueing at a bank (or something similar) to get the visas after getting off the plane, and before passport control, but can't remember how much they were. I think maybe I handed over an English �20 note and got some change in Egyptian pounds. Can anyone that has been recently remind me? I want to make sure I have the right money with me. Thanks.

Went about two years ago at that time a visa was �10 pounds at passport control
I think it's now �15, payable in British �10 and �5 notes.

Thank you both, that seems to tie in with what I remember. Looking forward to getting away from the rain!
It has been �10 or US$15 the dozen or so times I've been, but you can be sure that the bank tellers will accept �15 or even �20 (and try to resist giving you change!).

To counter this habit, Egypt have introduced a new kind of stamp... refer: http://www.divemagazine.co.uk/news/article.asp ?uan=3965

If you are in any doubt simply take a few �5ers with you. This is assuming you do not have access to US$15.

p.s. Interesting, the article suggest that the price has been reduced from �10 to the sterling equivalent of US$15. I have not been there since the new rule came in so have yet to test this, but I always try to pay in US$, and always ensure I have the right change.
