What is the departure area like at Hurghada Airport for direct flights to Russia?

Smoking room and coffee. In September 2026 a traveler explained how to find the smoking room: once you are in the duty-free zone, walk straight down the corridor past the boarding gates to the end, then take the lift or the stairs down. There is also a coffee machine there — in their view quite decent and cheaper than coffee in the airport itself.

A separate departure section. In June 2026 two travelers separately described the same setup: direct flights to Russia at Hurghada Airport use a separate small departure section. It has one cafe and a small duty-free shop and does not connect with the rest of the airport. If you fly early and want to eat after security, that single cafe is what you can count on. One of them also advised clarifying all the details of the airport transfer with the company you book it from.
