Price increases in Egypt - departure tax

Soon you won't be able to afford to leave egypt.

Luxury goods, including certain types of fish, perfumes, and wristwatches will be subject to a 10 percent tax.

Since when has fish been a luxury??

Certain types of fish

I thought at first...salmon. But that’s imported

The exit tax is intriguing. Presumably it’s levied on the airlines as you don’t pay 50 le at the moment.

Unless they’re talking about the baksheesh demanded by toilet attendants in the airport!
