TL;DR
Travelers report that carry-on at Hurghada Airport is not always weighed at check-in, and many get through with a cabin-size suitcase, a backpack, and a small personal bag. Still, enforcement depends on the airline and the staff at the counter, so check your carrier’s official allowance in advance.
What the community said
Several travelers mention that besides the regular scanners, there's a final check right before boarding where carry-on items specifically are inspected. Tips include avoiding packing perfumes, cosmetics, or small valuables in your carry-on since staff may confiscate them, though not everyone's bag gets checked this thoroughly — it can be a matter of luck.

One traveler noted that airport staff may quickly take hold of your suitcase and baggage tag, especially when offering luggage transport by cart or vehicle. If you do not want that service, it is better to say right away that you will handle your luggage yourself.

Another traveler’s experience was that carry-on is sometimes not weighed at all: once checked baggage is accepted and the boarding pass is issued, extra bag checks may not happen.
