If I'm not mistaken, 2-3 bottles of wine for the 1st, and 1 liter of strong wine for the 1st. I don't know about cigarettes.

Husband takes 2 packs of cigarettes in luggage plus 4 packs in hand luggage. For alcohol - 1 liter of strong. According to the dutik - 2 bottles per person. We were once asked by Egyptian customs officers: "How many bottles?" The bags contained 2 liters of martini and 0.5 liters of Riga balsam. Everything went fine.

Duty free import
This includes the following products and items:
perfumery for personal use in quantities up to one liter;
one electrical appliance;
alcohol in an amount up to one liter;
tobacco products in the form of one block of cigarettes, 25 cigars or 200 grams of loose tobacco.
This is what you can put in luggage for one person
In front of the customs barrier at airports there are duty-free shops under the sign of Duty Free. You can buy one case of beer or three liters of strong alcohol in them. These goods are not subject to confiscation or taxation, provided that the original packaging is preserved and with the mandatory presentation of a boarding pass and passport. Alcohol can be bought from the age of 20.
This is an extract from the customs rules for transportation, but this year Duty Free personally told me that you can buy only 2 liters of weak drinks (champagne, wine) and 1 liter of strong drinks.

As for cigarettes, we put 1 block per person in our luggage and put several packs into hand luggage, handbags, pockets. eye rolled. Egyptians rarely arrange a search on arrival.

Velta61, Duty stores in Kyiv are not located in front of the customs barrier, but after customs and passport control, in the so-called "sterile zone".

In Sharm, few people are interested in your supplies, but there, it depends on the shift at the airport

travelsita "There are Duty Free shops in front of the customs barrier at airports. You can buy one case of beer or three liters of hard liquor there." This is a copypaste from the duty free rules for Egypt. I suspect these are the sins (difficulties) of translation. And Duty Free is everywhere after customs control or at the exit.

So why write nonsense? Read your answer before submitting. A man flies for the first time. Doesn't know much yet.

The man asks how much you can take with you in your luggage. Everything else is related information. I confess I didn't check the Egyptian translation. I hope it's easier for everyone who is dissatisfied)
