Does AlMarsia count a laptop, tablet and neck pillow toward the carry-on allowance when flying from Hurghada?

On AlMarsia departures from Hurghada, laptops have reportedly been weighed and included in the free 5 kg carry-on allowance. Passengers over the limit were charged for the laptop’s weight.

For an AlMarsia flight, pack a laptop or tablet so its weight fits within the main carry-on limit rather than relying on it being accepted as a separate free item.

Many passengers carry a neck pillow separately from their cabin bag. However, it may not be explicitly listed as a separate permitted item, so this is not guaranteed.
