What items are likely to be checked or removed from carry-on luggage at Sharm El Sheikh Airport security?

Carry-on bags may be screened up to three times on departure. A roll of adhesive tape was removed for inspection, so packing tape and suitcase-wrapping film are better placed in checked luggage.

At the final screening point, even ordinary transparent plastic bags may receive separate inspection. A child’s ball may also need to be deflated so security can check it.

Boxes noticed around the check-in area may be set aside for additional inspection, and a receipt may be issued for them. In one reported case, 31 kg of checked baggage for three passengers was accepted without issue.
