HI, im living in Sharm el Shiekh Egypt, yes this is correct, he may not be allowed to enter. Egyptian authorities are very strict and its all about protecting tourists from harm (i dont mean physical harm, but emotional etc) there are a lot of scammers there. Usually they allow Egyptians to enter Sharm if the have a hotel reservation or something, but im not sure about Hurgada. My husband can only enter sharm because he owns property here and has a job here, but everytime we leave for a holiday etc and come back there is a problem because they have to check.

Hope this helps!
