What can't you bring in carry-on luggage on a flight to Hurghada (liquids, hairdryer, alcohol)?

TL;DR
Carry-on checks on Hurghada flights are often strict: pack liquids and hairdryers in checked luggage, and keep alcohol over ~1 liter in your suitcase instead of hand luggage.

One traveler checked 1 liter of alcohol in her hold luggage, bought more at the airport duty-free, and after collecting her bag repacked the duty-free bottle into the suitcase right away — passed through without issues.

Carry-on bags get searched more thoroughly than checked luggage, so it's better to only pack a spare set of clothes and a snack in your hand luggage and put everything else in the checked suitcase.

A hairdryer packed in carry-on because the suitcase was full almost got confiscated at security — the passenger refused to hand it over and it was let through, but she now just leaves the hairdryer at home for trips.
