What the community said

Avoid taking a whole suitcase of medicines out of Egypt, as a large quantity may trigger extra questions at departure. Screening can be thorough and the final decision rests with the customs officer.

An informal practical guideline mentioned is no more than five packs of each medicine per person. This is not presented as an official rule, so travelers carrying larger quantities should be prepared to justify why they need them.

Baggage and hand luggage may sometimes pass without detailed inspection, but travelers should not rely on that: an uneventful trip for one person does not guarantee the same experience for others.
