Is it safe to bring and wear gold jewelry in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt?

One traveler left gold jewelry on the table in her hotel room and cash in a backpack in the closet (not in the safe). Everything stayed untouched during a September trip.

Gold jewelry can be packed in checked luggage without any issues at customs or during inspection.

Some travelers prefer to always keep gold on them — in a handbag or carry-on rather than checked luggage, just to be safe. They've carried both their own jewelry and gift items with tags — security never asked to inspect it, and there are no appraisers at the airport to check its value.
