Is there a final security check at the boarding gate at Sharm El Sheikh Airport, and can you take water through?

There can be a separate security screening at the gate before boarding in Sharm El Sheikh, even after the main airport checks and duty-free shopping.

Liquids may be confiscated at the final screening: one traveler reported losing half of an opened whisky bottle. Keep this in mind when buying drinks at duty free.

Experiences with water vary: one traveler filled up a bottle inside the airport without being asked for anything further, but this does not guarantee it will pass the final gate screening.
