After 11 years, I visited Egypt again! The airport is a little tired, cosmetic repairs are needed! The check-up before departure was probably carried out 8 times, I don't know what it's related to, but the process is tedious! The administration got the exit numbers mixed up and 2 flights to Moscow and Kazan were lined up at the same exit, the confusion was terrible, but everything ended well, everyone left without delay!

In general, the airport is normal, but the whole impression was spoiled by the staff who carry out the inspection, because they communicate like cattle. At the entrance to the airport, my expensive phone was thrown on a tape without a drawer, although I asked for it, and before boarding the plane, all passengers unceremoniously turn out their purses, backpacks and handbags. They dump everything on the table and stare at it! Lighters are taken away from smokers. The only way to avoid all this is to give something. For example, I gave a pen at the last check and my laptop bag was not even opened... In total, they are inspected three times.

There are many restaurants in the departure area, there is fast food, the business lounge is simple, but the toilets next to it are good
Prices for local products are highly inflated in Dutifrey.

Well, what can I say about the airport, whenever I arrive here, it's a kind of torment for me, a very long and dreary passage of control. It is mandatory to fill out migration cards, so it is better to take care early and have a pen with you to fill out the card. (and it's better to find out how to fill it out in advance) on the spot, you can use the service for an additional amount to do it for you, I don't see the point of these cards, because they don't even look at them on the cantrol, just for show (well, or how they like to earn money without doing something This includes helping to get your luggage to or from the bus, supposedly for free, but there's nothing like that, it's a hoax. There is a VIP lounge where you can eat and drink while waiting for your flight. But it's not big and there are always a lot of people there.

Compared to our airports, dirty is small. The toilets are terrible, I haven't seen them for a long time, fortunately, they are like this. I couldn't find a room for a mother and child. There is a smoking area. There is a small duty-free alcohol store, as well as a bunch of stalls with dates, toys, local perfumes like the market. I was surprised that there are fake watches and sneakers on sale.. I repeat, the impression of the market is for me....

It's not a big airport, it's easy to navigate, you won't get lost. Everything you need is available for tourists when you arrive and when you leave. I want to say to ill-mannered and uncultured tourists: "do not leave your ugly autographs on the walls of toilet cubicles." This is a complete disgrace‼️‼️‼️‼️👎

The convenient and comfortable airport of Sharm el Sheikh. Go through passport control quickly. If there are no plans to leave the city during the rest period, then it is not necessary to pay a visa, it is enough to put a Sinai stamp (Synai stamp only). They quickly hand over the luggage. On the way back, be prepared for three times of all sorts of control, but it's better than being out of control. While you pass them, even the most Tagil calms down.

There are long queues at the entrance to the airport, "helpers" immediately rush in, they promise to lead them to the control frame without queuing for money, it is clear that they share with airport employees, because all this is done in plain sight. After control at the entrance, there are also queues at the border and at the entrance to the waiting room. Also, in order to get to your Gate for boarding, there may still be a decent queue, and if your flight is not soon, they will not let you in, and when you can go in and stand in line, they will again go through all your hand luggage at a personal inspection. Of course, the airport building itself is not enough for such a large number of passengers, as a result of which there is a crush on all kinds of controls and passes due to their limited number. Therefore, the advice is, if you travel by yourself, then come to the departure with a decent amount of time.

Over the past two years, everything has changed a lot and not for the better. The waiting area for departures has become very poor, the shops are not happy with anything, there is nothing to take in a cafe for a lot of money, the burger king has closed, you can buy something in duty-free, but there are doubts about authenticity.

The airport is more like a bus station somewhere in the countryside. There are people who really want to take care of your luggage for a little money. The toilet is disgusting. On the plus side: there is a burger king where you can eat inexpensively. There is a smoking room, which is very easy to find. In duty free, they understand Russian calmly. It will take a bit of work to fill out a visa on arrival, but in general everything is fast, but there are a lot of checks on departure and you also need to fill out a form (I forgot what it's called)

Do not forget toilet paper if you are at this airport. There is no provision for its presence in any booth. Neither on arrival nor on departure. There's nothing to eat either, except sandwiches made from a huge piece of bread. Coffee from a dirty coffee machine When they drank the milk on top of the cappuccino, they realized that the taste of coffee was not coffee at all. I rarely write such negative reviews, but this airport is something)

Everything is kind of fussy.
Then there's the almost complete lack of goodwill, as if you're bothering them.
There is one exchanger for the entire airport, moreover, it works only in one direction: the currency is in pounds, but there is no return, and this is everywhere in the city. It's completely absurd.
The fact of filling out the visa form on arrival is clear, but why on departure? The officer doesn't look at him at all and puts him aside.
There is no departure board, only arrivals.

The airport has become much better than before. There are only 4 inspections and you are in duty free. Compared to Hurghada, the airport is much better.
But if you compare it with Sheremetyevo, then of course about nothing. A can of Coke is 4-5 dollars. A sandwich is about $10. It is better to eat in advance.

The most unpleasant airport. There is one stall in the toilet so that no one dared to go there, all the stalls inside are painted, there is no toilet paper, there is no soap, the dryer does not work.
Catering is even more expensive than Domodedovo - a slice of pizza costs about 1000 rubles.
And the cherry on the cake - for all flights to the Russian Federation there are 6 different inspections and long queues, so tour operators bring 3-4 hours to the airport. At the very end, everyone is driven into a fenced-off space for exits 5-6 without a toilet at all.
At the last check, all men are invited to look through every pocket of all carry-on bags. My husband's Band-Aid was taken away (!!!) and a pocket mirror

The air conditioner saves you, it's convenient to wait for planes. But it is not the most pleasant airport in terms of passing various checks. In places, the screaming inspectors were frightening. And not in Russian, not in English, but in Arabic. They say you came to spin as you want (and there the command "Take off the watch" or "Put your foot on the box"). At least they helped with gestures. Or some kind of rigid division into a female and a male queue. And for some reason the girls were not allowed to go, and the men ran. I was excitedly looking at where my girlfriend was. However, it was on the way from Egypt. Upon arrival in the country, they passed quickly and smoothly.

The airport for arrival is very good, everything is clean and tidy, but the queues for vouchers to fill are just huge, you need to be the first to get out before everyone else. Otherwise, everything was fast and high-quality. For departure, a very thorough inspection is carried out 4 times, in total they will be probed and forced to leave what is not allowed for carriage. We didn't have to wait long, just before everyone was allowed to leave, it was already departure time. The staff is strict and takes everything seriously, everything is clear and to the point. The seats in the waiting room are just made of stone and bugs and cockroaches used to run around. The queues for everything are huge, but that's because the plane is chartered, there were no people in the shops at all. They behave carefully with luggage, treat it well and carefully, the airport is good, but all sorts of bugs and cockroaches, as well as the lack of a toilet in the waiting area, take away the star

We took off on 07/24. almasria uj611.
It took only 40 minutes from the entrance to the airport to the passage to the clean zone.
By the way, they have delicious big sandwiches there and vegan and with meat, and take it right near the registration, there's a cafe and they stand there for 5 bucks in total, and near the duty fries they already
took off their shoes on 1 inspection, the floors are clean, their feet are not dirty)
They're just pretending, my human dignity hasn't been harmed in any way, phaha
There is even an announcement in good Russian about the start of the flight boarding.
The only disadvantage is the lack of a full pharmacy in the duty free zone.
That is, there are no wet wipes or other more important hygiene products anywhere at all!!!!?!

We flew from this airport yesterday (11.12.2024). We flew to Domodedovo. We were surprised by some "innovation". Firstly, at the entrance, when checking the suitcase, they found a chocolate bar, and it was "offered" to treat her.
And secondly, during registration it turned out that if you are flying with your husband (wife), then the request to put you next to (yes, yes, right next to) may not be heard until a certain amount of money is deposited. In this case, $7. A kind of place map has appeared. There is a layout of the seats of the aircraft, and it indicates how much money this or that place costs.

Basically a normal airport, except for the traditional Egyptian approach… Employees create queues about and without, while "helpers with entering without queuing" run next to the queue, of course, everything is "on topic", and if you are a "greedy tourist", you will suffer a little and write (pass) a review so that everyone buys the "quick option". Inspection and control "do not hit a lying person", there is visibility, there is a queue, and there is practically no involvement of personnel in this. Inside the airport, everything is in the standard version, decent Duty Free, who did not have time to buy something authentic, well, and so on. Cafes and restaurants too, there is an "airport" price list to get the latest currency out of tourists' pockets. There is a good business lounge, it works with different loyalty cards and you can buy admission for money. You can smoke inside, have a decent snack and sit waiting for the flight (I recommend it). The staff is always set up for tips, smiling East (for money), will accompany you to the flight exit. Before the exit itself, you will have another inspection, with a gas analyzer and a pat on the shoulder, the airport staff will also assemble a decent queue there. You can safely wait next to the cafe until it resolves a little, they will not fly away without you, they will run around the airport and look for you. Many advise you to arrive at the airport 4 hours in advance, I did so, but at the same time, if the flight check-in is not announced, you will not be allowed to check in, since they look at the departure time from your ticket. But in any case, come early to go through all the formalities, do not brawl with the staff, they are not very stress-resistant and can "treat" you, in case of "inadequacy in their opinion."

The airport is small to provide good service. Duty-free cards accept only 10 dollars, an interesting policy! But the nightmare started on boarding, we changed the exit at the last moment and combined the passage to these exits with the boarding of another flight, each passenger was manually searched, they were especially interested in cosmetics bags. It may be worth installing normal screening tapes. As a result, our flight was also delayed by an hour because of this mess.

The airport with the slowest staff I've ever been to
Be sure to arrive in advance, otherwise there is a high risk of missing your flight.
The queues are very long precisely because of the slowness
It is convenient for navigation, as it is relatively small. If time permits, there are places to eat, but the prices are quite high: for example, a slice of pizza will cost you $ 10

The airport is small, with two terminals. "ears are sharp" already upon arrival! They're trying to get a migration card for you, help with things, etc. There are supposedly long queues, but we're queuing you up, don't be fooled! lose 10 or more dollars. At the airport, you can buy a SIM card, there is an exchanger, free Wi-Fi for 15 minutes, and you can call a taxi in time.

I flew to Samara yesterday, flight SU5568. Just before boarding, we once again checked everything VERY thoroughly. Women have their turn, men have their turn. I was robbed by a young airport employee (in black clothes). He reached into a small document bag and pulled the money out of his wallet!!!! This was noticed by other people who were standing in line and the girls who were already sitting in the waiting room!!!! He's got the money in his fist!!! I returned the money. Be vigilant!!! Airport staff, civil servants, taxi drivers, hotel staff, in the store, in the pharmacy, EVERYONE, ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE WANTS TO ROB, CHEAT, DECEIVE US!!!!! When checking in the luggage, the scales showed 5kg more!!!!! These Egyptians are completely...!!!!

Everything is terrible, there are too many checks
They scratched the watch and told me to take it to the light through the camera. As a result, while the watch was being felt, the cameras passed and the roller skates fell along with the phones
The attitude there is disgusting
The business hall is good
The free kids accept only euros and dollars
Rubles and other currencies are not accepted.
They're trying to cheat with the change
I bought in dollars and the change was given in euros at the cosmos exchange rate
As a result, they were making a change so far
I almost missed the plane because 2 more checks were arranged
And they land 4 planes at a time.
Until you find your turn, which has already ended, as it turned out (((
We arrived in 3 hours as expected
And the scales at the airport show more than the weight of the suitcases than they should, I think there is a 2kg error per weighing
My bag weighs 1.5 kg and I bought exactly 2.5 kg of tea leaves, it should be 4 kg in total, they showed 6 kg

It's the worst marina I've ever seen. Well, it's okay that the inspections are thorough. The signs at this airport are the fingers of the staff. There are no arrows, no directions, no information boards at different ends of the hall, everything is complicated. An Arab stands at each counter and offers seats in the front for money, and the Arab is not in the uniform of an airport employee. There are also a lot of barkers at the airport entrance, escorting people into the hall without waiting in line and offering quick check-in. At the boarding gate, we were generally given a common exit 5, along with another city, and already at the exit we were told where to go or stay. The halls are very stuffy. I won't say anything about dutik, we haven't been.

You can push through the queue for an hour just to get to the check-in area, but instead of opening additional frames for inspection, employees go and offer to walk along the "green corridor" for 30 bucks from the snout, there is no organization of boarding, in short, the airport sucks, but as we went there, we will go and no way Difficulties don't scare you

The impression of an airport with so much traffic is twofold. No teletraps, only buses, at +40, so-so fun. There is dirt on the platform, garbage everywhere. I do not know who has seen normal toilets here. It can be seen for Russians, during departure, additional screening before boarding, while you can run into rudeness. Many people know Russian, this is a plus. I liked the design of terminal 1 itself. In general, it feels very twofold!

A public space is better than a business lounge, "boarding right now" and a reservation for flights to Russia with a very strange inspection where they often ask for gifts from hand luggage. In general, security is at the same level, there are no sanitary facilities in the reservation.

I read a lot of scary reviews before I left. And I was preparing for the worst. But the flight was a great success! There were no huge queues. Yes, we stood at the counters, but after a while we also opened them and we quickly checked in our luggage. We filled out the cards and passed passport control. We were not stopped anywhere else. Yes, they did inspect it before departure. But everything is fast enough. Everyone is friendly and smiling. They flew out clearly on time!

get ready for a total check, there will be at least six of them, men are searched especially carefully, they took shoe covers with them so as not to dirty their socks, lighters will be taken away and thrown out at the last check before boarding the plane, but drinks in hand luggage can be carried, there was water in plastic and 4 different sodas in cans - they said be sure to have a drink before the plane, but we brought everything home, the waiting room itself did not have time to scare - we bought a business lounge in advance, there is a snack and drinks, and silence

On arrival, after passing through passport control, there is a toilet, so out of nowhere there appeared a guy who collects money for admission. It didn't happen right away. The type is clearly left-handed, it's just worth putting money in a handful. There is also a toilet in the baggage claim area, but it is so terrible that it is scary to breathe in it. Out of nowhere, a customs fee of 1% on the purchase appeared in dutifry, but not less than $ 13. Who the hell is Dutifrey? 😮 Inspection procedures are organized

It's a small airport, and everything is compact and clean, but we flew at 8 p.m., and the first impression was spoiled. The first one passed all the inspections and customs, went to the common room, with a child and backpacks, went to the boarding gate, waited in the waiting room, they are not allowed in it. all the people are sitting in all the available chairs and waiting. the information on the scoreboard is unchanged, the departure time is at 20.00, and it's already 19.30 on the clock. We approach the guard, he says in a dream, it's delayed for an hour, so they don't let you into the waiting room, wait here. The information on the scoreboard is unchanged. At about 19.45, an announcement is made-our flight needs to board urgently, please hurry. of course, everyone ran, and it turns out that not all people have an additional stamp. we went back to the inspection, and a man was sitting at a table to the side, without any signs, and sadly stamped those who approached him themselves. We return to the exit, and again we stand in the queue for checking hand luggage. Next to him, a man was carrying a container of Dudifri, bought at this airport, sealed, and he was not allowed to board with it. And as a result, we are sitting in this hall again, and they announce "hurry up to the exit", and in a hurry they check the stamps, one employee shouts "hurry up" to us. Everyone is tired, this is the first time. Safety, but it seems to me that some points are not worked out

2024, at check-in, they cheat with the weight of luggage, and they start to lure dollars, even though the luggage has already left and the boarding passes were received by the workers and ask for dollars for the excess. Although it will outweigh it. In the main waiting room, the men's toilet was closed at night and they send everyone to the 2nd floor, there are no cameras there and there is a man at the entrance showing you where the entrance is and asking for a dollar. I'm surprised the customs officer didn't ask for a dollar. The inspection is long and pointless for a policeman to inspect through an X-ray, the monitor does not work.

The stores have extortionate prices. Cola 0.3 costs 5 euros. Women are checked by women . As an older woman, I was rudely asked to put my foot on a stool. No one thought that a person could just fall. When boarding at gate 5, young Egyptian women checked their bags. They asked for chocolate, but they just took everything that was on top. I have sunflower seeds as a gift, my son has a lighter . I advise you to pack dirty socks and socks in backpacks and bags on top.

Departure to Moscow by Aeroflot. The airport is clean, I didn't go to the shops, toilet and cafe, I didn't need to. Negative reviews are nonsense.
