Budapest to Marsa Alam (BUD–RMF) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

Hungarian passport holders can obtain a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports or apply for an eVisa at visa2egypt.gov.eg before travel. The single-entry visa costs $25 and allows a 30-day stay. Multiple-entry is $60. The eVisa is processed within 5 to 7 working days. Visa on arrival is paid in USD cash or by card at the bank kiosk before passport control.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the entry date with at least one blank page. No supporting documents are required for the tourist visa, though return tickets and hotel bookings speed up the process. For stays beyond 30 days, visit a passport office in Egypt for an extension (EGP 700, roughly $14) before the visa expires. Overstays incur fines and potential travel bans.

Direct flights from Budapest to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh operate seasonally (primarily winter charter routes), running about 3 hours 30 minutes. Connections to Cairo through Istanbul, Athens, or Vienna take 5 to 8 hours. Egypt uses the Egyptian pound (EGP), trading at roughly 50 EGP per $1 with frequent fluctuations. No mandatory vaccinations for Hungarian arrivals. Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from an endemic country.
