Upon arrival at this airport, be prepared that everyone will try to fuck with you, IF YOU DO NOT GET READY FOR CAIRO, DO NOT BUY a VISA, you will not need it, The visa costs $ 25, do not buy it for $ 30 or even for $ 28, when you leave the airport, they will run to you and grab your bag, saying they want to help take your bag to the transport and at the end they will demand money from you
The most disgusting airport I've ever seen. There are a lot of people working, but there is no sense. The chaos is complete. Queues are being artificially created, and some useless security posts have been set up on every corner, where nothing is checked, but a queue is being created. At the same time, the post stands at the boarding gates, where everything is fenced off, in order to go to the toilet you need to leave this area, and then go through the queue and inspection again. Nonsense in one word
There are 2 terminals at the airport. One is old, the other is newly built. The old terminal is used mainly for local flights and is a hall in which there is nothing except a counter with sandwiches and drinks. The new terminal is richer. There are several cafes, various shops, and even Duty free. Although the assortment in it is very boring. Strong alcohol of 1-2 brands, no wine at all. Some chocolate, cigarettes and perfumes. There are few care cosmetics, there are practically no decorative ones. In the cafe you can buy food for the plane, well, and collect small souvenirs at local shops. In the inspection area, women are forced to take off their shoes separately, men separately. Additional checking of hand luggage with a sensitive analyzer and writing in a huge ledger takes some more time. Before landing, the aquarium is opened at the right gate. In general, the terminal is small. One minus star for Duty free.
It is a large airport , but it is served for a very long time due to the fact that it is from Russia . They inspect it three times, queues. It is inconvenient to write a visa at the airport, and it is not clear. But the magic 5 American rubles do a miracle , they are issued within a minute .
A beautiful and large airport. We liked it. Convenient, lots of shops. Checking documents and bogazh is too much. You shouldn't grope a person like that.
The airport is very simple and convenient. Upon arrival, you just need to go ahead, you can take a migrant at the border control (polite, pleasant people). After the control, immediately exit to the hall where to receive the luggage, took the luggage and left into the city. It is better to order a taxi online, but we take a hotel transfer (cheaper and faster).
They are brought here, as a rule, centrally) The end of January is not such a popular period, so there weren't too many people. At check-in (it was impossible to check in for a flight remotely from Egypt), we kindly asked for the desired seats next to and by the window.
The most uncomfortable thing is the triple control, screening, and not too ethical checking of bags with hand luggage, even when entering the boarding area.
Duty free is not that big, but it is.
The airport in Sharm El-Sheikh was built about thirty years ago and it is felt throughout ... a large passenger flow of tourists.... They check and control all tourists very carefully.... The beauty-Free store is one of the most attractive in terms of prices compared to other countries in the world
A small airport specifically for tourists, although not everything is thought out, but it is quite suitable for Egypt. There is a security passageway to the waiting rooms, but there are no toilets in the waiting room!
Clueless workers are working at the control, and for those departing to the Russian Federation, they made a third ostentatious check in a clean area, where everything is reviewed again, although it is easy not to deliver a bag past the check and not to say a word when they realize that the weak link is not the passengers, but their clueless workers on the spot. Overall, the terminal is good
Very small, dirty, in the toilet too. But this is in the equation. And as for me: modest, not modern, but everything that is necessary for a short stay is there. Where to have a snack -there is;, buy souvenirs - please!;, sit, bench chairs - are also present.
Attraction queue. A meaningless set of formal control procedures, instead of 3, as in the Russian Federation, there were about 7 different checks, but they had nothing to do with improving security. Purely formalism, in Arabic. The stern inspector frowns and forms a seal, and then you ask the children to go to the toilet and go back and forth past all levels of control)
Arrive 3 hours in advance and run to the boarding gate without stopping!
Sharm El Sheikh Airport is a pain!!!! Obsessive assistants for $5 who literally stick around you. Outerwear is also an advantage, they charged us $ 100 without any receipts. Beer in the dollar bar, even Moscow was surpassed in prices) . The toilets are dirty and there is no toilet paper. On the plus side, the duty-free sellers are very polite and knowledgeable. And perhaps this is the only plus.
Great airport! But I want to say that all the big airports are almost the same.
But it is interesting that during the passage, women in black coats groped us, only women. And the men were groping. men.
As it is, it's great!
It is completely unsuitable for such a large number of passengers. And it's not the season yet.
The business hall has 1 toilet stall each, M and W, respectively, and it's a bit dirty inside. The choice of dishes is very poor.
They extort money at the check-in desks for good seats on the plane. However, there is no online registration.
They may well not let themselves inside the building, and without knowing languages, they will not explain what is the matter and for some time they have to stand outside in the wild heat.
All employees talk through their teeth, with some kind of obvious, demonstrative disregard, from customs officers to check-in.
On arrival, a divorce with filling out registration cards. Do not be fooled, there are 3 lines to fill in and it is not necessary to pay the helpers for this, especially since then they will not even look at these cards.
For me, the most disgusting impression is the cleaners in the toilet, running after me from the stall to open the door, to the faucet and dryer to open and get a towel, respectively. Well, at the exit, of course - give me money, give me money…
And also get ready for some kind of inadequate number of inspections, but at the same time a persistent feeling that quantity does not translate into quality. Upon arrival, they are also run through the scanner at the exit.
Upon arrival, take a SIM card at the airport, you will not save money in the city, the prices are the same. I took the wave, there are no complaints.
Good luck to everyone! To be honest, I don't remember more disgusting than the service and the number of total inspections. Why our North African brothers dislike us so much is not clear, most likely they are just really tired of the number of Russians, I suggest that everyone skip visiting Egypt for a couple of years, then maybe their biased attitude will become a little more adequate!
It's a good airport for a small tourist town. I got out, found a transfer and went to the hotel. A taxi here costs $ 10 if you don't want to wait for everyone for a group transfer - u a velcom
the airport is not big, but everything you need is there. The main thing is that when arriving / departing, employees work clearly and quickly. I like that when checking in for flights, they are loyal to a small excess of luggage. Internet Wi-Fi noticed that a message with a password did not come to the mobile fr sim. But a friend with RB easily connected. The tutor is big, but Jimbil didn't find an apple. Alas, prices have risen dramatically over the year.
In all other respects, I liked both the trip and the airport.
They are not sitting well , they especially dropped my things everywhere on hiskan , broke my phone and broke my glasses .when I came to figure it out, they turned on the fool, like they didn't understand anything and threw up their hands. I almost got into a fight, then an understanding of both Russian and all other words abruptly appeared, but nothing compensated for the terrible attitude towards tourists.
Great airport! A very serious check in several stages! Hand luggage at a minimum. They will take away everything that is superfluous. There is a wonderful place for smokers where you can buy beer and calmly wait for your flight, looking at the gdp (runway).
Departure from Egypt, it's not very
There was a lot of fuss, stupid checks, flight delays, and the handle of the travel bag was torn off.In general, for the rest, everything is fine, and then, as usual.With our home airports, heaven and earth.We have the sky
I thought that there was nowhere more infuriating staff than at Sochi airport, but the staff of Sharma airport snatched the honorable 1st place. The inspection during the entire stay there right up to the boarding gate, and it would be fine if they checked really well (after all, there really is a great risk of a terrorist attack), so this is just an imitation of violent activity. At the entrance, they are forced to present tickets, take off things that are lost on the tape in a pile of other passengers' belongings. The staff absolutely does not care what you can lose or break there, they will even force you to put sunglasses on the tape, and then look for them under a bunch of bags. It was lucky that nothing was broken or lost. 😡
Easy navigation, but there are too many inspections, including employees climbing right in and sorting through things in a suitcase. Everyone at the check-in desks is friendly. The prices in the cafe are slightly more expensive than in Moscow.
And this is, of course, perhaps the most lame airport in resort towns. Idiotic control system - you pass 8 checks when.... You're flying away. This is the first time I've seen this. Well, the pearl of this dump is the toilets. It feels like I've come to some country where people defecate on the street and have never seen a toilet. There is no paper, it smells. Terrible airport :)
The airport is questionable, the price tags are higher than in any Russian airports, unnecessary gestures in the form of some kind of entries in magazines that no one is watching. I actually wrote in the magazine instead of my last name.:"Goodbye Charm.".. in general, an incomprehensible place)
It takes a very long time, it's stuffy. The landing of three planes takes place at the same time through one exit. The plane was delayed, they gave free water, where they gave it is not clear, they speak quietly, it is not clear at all what is happening.On landing, lighters are inspected and taken away for the 5th time.
Years go by, but nothing changes. The airport is in the form of a tent... it is better to walk on the first floor, the second floor is empty, there are no people... And it's even kind of creepy.. The men's toilet is on the ground floor, and the women's toilet is on the second floor. DF - none.
Separately about the inspections... After the resumption of air traffic with Egypt, there were more inspections (I couldn't count them), but they were stupid.. One employee looks at a paper ticket (the question is, what is it??? Everything is in electronic form), another employee is sitting on a chair in the hall and you just show him your passport. During a personal search, Egyptian women are quite rude in their treatment, unlike men. You will be forced to take off your shoes and put your feet on a stool (be prepared for this). Then you show another employee your passport again to see if there is a seal there. Then you need to sign up for some kind of magazine, then fill out cards with personal data (take a pen or pencil with you! Many do not take it and then they start rushing in search of something to write). It is better to put everything to the maximum in a suitcase, otherwise everything will be shaken out of you - drops in your eyes, a nail file. In front of me, they took the key to the garage from a person and it's useless to prove something. Well, when you think that everything has already passed, you approach your gate, they begin to inspect you again, a woman of women, a man of men. And if you want to go to the toilet / shop, then you will be searched again! If the flight is delayed, no one announces anything. In general, the most "pleasant" impressions!
An incredibly cute airport. It looks like some kind of expo center. Personally, we had no problems, everything was fast, clear, to eat, shops, everything is there
It's not the best airport plus it's impossible to connect to Wi-Fi, so alas, without the Internet, otherwise, as everywhere else, the prices for a snack are higher than in any Duty Free restaurants with not a very rich choice
They check for departure the way they probably don't anywhere else, you even need to take off your shoes. Three hours on my feet to the exits to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Everything is open to the other exits, people are sitting, waiting for their flights. The toilet is terrible. You probably deserve such thorough checks yourself!
I've been to 6 airports. Yekaterinburg, Moscow Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo. Antalya, Gazipasa, Istanbul has 2 airports. But the worst is Sharm el Sheikh.
It's the first time here, but it's immediately obvious that this is an old airport. It's like they built it and didn't do anything else with it, didn't modernize it, didn't update it. Upon arrival, they helped (they filled it out themselves, presenting their passport) to fill out a migration card, you can immediately buy a visa there ($ 25 per person). The arrival is normal, but the departure is terrible. Weak organization, fake checks, frequent useless checks, not logical. There are no pens to fill in the cards, take them with you, for example, from the hotel. There are very few places to sit, the goods are expensive. The employees are untidy, not disciplined. Sheremetyevo is just space compared to this.
Terrible airport and their staff! They create huge queues on purpose to make you want to go without queues for $ 30 per person! It was terribly rude, the passport control officer picked at the zooms in front of me with my plane ticket, and then gave it to me. Shaking with indignation. Employees are trading like in a bazaar. I will not fly to Egypt anymore.
They didn't have time to evaluate it properly , as they were searched for 2.5 hours. First, in the middle, at the end, in the waiting room, before boarding. In general, everywhere. They watch everything and in every way. I didn't even have time to go to the bathroom. I was glad that the plane took off on time.
A small rather convenient airport.
Everything is expensive inside ;) But this is probably due to the dollar exchange rate (in November 2023 tea in a paper cup is $ 4).
Egyptians are very good at browsing at every step. But this is a concern for safety and that no one takes out corals and everything else prohibited.
Registration is fast. We were with a child, the guy himself registered us for the front seats on the plane.
It is better to put the stroller in a case. Otherwise, there will be surprises in the form of scratches and holes.

We visit Egypt often, I would like to do it more often))) I'm describing a trip in 2024. Sharm el-Sheikh airport is good, modern, and there are no questions on arrival, either from us or the host country. On departure, sometimes the luggage is checked, sometimes not, so it's better not to pack it tightly to show what's there, we got to the cream and shampoo, sniffed, almost tasted))) They like to check handbags. Check-in is fast, she gave me chocolate with passports, said please have seats nearby, a nice girl, smiled and gave me seats nearby. AK ALMasria. Then we went to the recreation area, there is a cafe, Duty-free, toilet. Everything is clean, the seats are not comfortable. In general, it's normal, but there are better airports, the main thing is to fly home))
A small bustling airport. In Dute Free, the Egyptians godlessly try to cheat on the surrender. Although it is quite clean and there is a lot of security. And of course, a trip through the airport floor on a packed bus from and to the plane in 35-40 degree heat is a very dubious pleasure
A new, beautiful and spacious airport. Stupid management spoils everything. Queues are easily organized from scratch. The staff at the front desk are falling asleep on the move. Get ready for long procedures!
A small airport, depending on what to compare it with.
Arrival. We were taken to the place by bus. Registration is fast, you can fill out the forms yourself, operators can help for $ 10
A friend's child forgot his phone on the plane. While we were receiving the luggage, we brought the phone and checked that it was ours. We signed the receipt and went to load into our taxi.
Departure. We took an individual transfer and did not lose.
We avoided the queue for flight check-in. We filled out the retirement cards ourselves and went to Burger King.
There are many shops. The staff is friendly.
The airport ruined the impression of a vacation. 5 inspections, 5 queues, barefoot even in some places. The flight was delayed and not warned. Attention everyone: luggage is 10 kg per person! If you arrived with 10 kg and suddenly bought souvenirs or something else, be prepared to pay $ 10 for 1 kg of excess weight. We had 8 kg, here's 8000 rubles, please pay. In general, the souvenirs turned out to be golden. This was not reported on the Internet and the tour operator did not report it. It was not a pleasant surprise.
The airport is not big. I went through customs quickly and here is the Sharm el Sheikh airport
It's big and there are a lot of people.It takes 5 hours to arrive.
All the procedures for leaving Egypt were excellent this year!
The hand luggage was not even weighed and two boxes of mangoes were ignored! We just went through all the standard procedures!
The impression of a vacation was ruined by the airport of the departure zone! We checked our passports 10 or 12 times, searched our belongings. At the first inspection, they almost turned me around, at first they said it was too early. Then, after talking to someone, we were allowed to enter the baggage drop area. The toilets are in terrible condition, there is no paper. Lots of stuff checks. Beer prices are high, everything is not delicious to eat, there is no choice. The attitude is such that I no longer want to come on such a vacation (((
As the airport is certainly not a very convenient place, the problem with informativeness, toilets, multiple searches, of course, for the sake of our own safety, they are not allowed to the gates until the landing is announced, in general, so-so.... there is nothing to choose from
It's a very dirty airport. Several checks, at the entrance to the airport, then at the entrance to the clean zone, then before entering the boarding area and before boarding the plane.
The business hall is also very dirty. Terribly
The staff is rude, the first airport where deodorant was taken before departure.
They don't check everyone, but selectively, they took my husband's lighter, they didn't take it from me. There were medicines in 3 suitcases, as a result, they were forced to open only one, where there was ordinary activated carbon! They took the water from everyone, we don't have it. All alcohol purchased in duty free is withdrawn
The airport copes with the tasks assigned to it, but everything resembles chaotic traffic, waters, incomprehensible checkpoints, checkpoints, fences. After passing through 10 checkpoints, you reach the right door towards the plane, where you will be met by loud-speaking or even shouting airport staff..
When you arrive, you immediately realize that there is complete ruin here, nothing is being done at the old airport
When the old security systems are old, the controls are all old and the room is not very clean
I'm talking about the airport, the arrival and departure area is a little better.
