How much alcohol can you bring into Sharm el-Sheikh and does duty-free count toward the limit?

Duty-free alcohol purchased at your departure airport counts toward Egypt's import limit. For two people, 3–4 bottles already exceeds the allowance and may attract customs attention.

Customs in Sharm el-Sheikh does check for alcohol, though enforcement varies. The official limit is 1 liter per person; exceeding it can technically result in confiscation or a fine.

Each adult passenger may bring up to 1 liter of alcohol into Egypt. Duty-free and checked baggage quantities are combined — the total must not exceed the per-person limit.
