What documents do you need to show at Hurghada airport when departing, and do you need a translation of a child's birth certificate?

Based on 3 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago

TL;DR

At Hurghada airport entrance you're asked to show your passport and ticket right away, so keep them handy. A translation of a child's birth certificate is not required — both Russian and Egyptian border checks accept the original documents.

At the entrance to Hurghada airport they immediately ask to see your passport and flight ticket — confirmed by a traveler who flew a week before posting.

You can activate the InDriver taxi app at home using your home country SIM card — once you land, it automatically switches to recognizing your Egyptian SIM. No need to link a bank card, cash payment works fine.

You don't need a translated birth certificate to fly to Hurghada: Russian border control accepts the standard documents (passport, birth certificate) in the original language, and on arrival in Hurghada they weren't even checked.
