Can!
The procedure is as follows - you buy coral products in Hurghada, customs at the Hurghada airport takes them away from you, issues a fine of $ 200, confiscates the products and transfers them back to the shops of Hurghada. Everyone is happy.

And if it's not a secret, how does she (customs) "redeem" these earrings? I carried cameras in my hand luggage, and once I even accidentally carried a knife. No one's bags were broken in my presence. Can you see on the scan whether it is coral or not?

My husband and I carried fragments of corals and shells found on the shores of Paradise Island in our luggage, no one, nothing ... The Egyptians are fined for damaging corals from reefs, but I don’t think products and small pieces of finds have anything to do with it. Although, if some trickster breaks off a good branch from the reef, and at the same time none of the staff will notice this, and puts it in luggage, towels and clothes, then this trophy is also unlikely to be found at the airport.

Pachok, I'm also interested in this question, were there cases at customs when coral jewelry was taken away?

"Although, if some trickster breaks off a good branch from the reef," I would advise such a trickster to immediately give in the face and put him on a hedgehog, so as not to kill and spoil the reefs. PPC comrades!

Don't be fooled. A week ago, at the airport in Burgas, when returning home from Bulgaria, they literally searched me (the checkpoint beeped, apparently because of the stupid "bones" in my underwear, sorry for the details) - they groped from head to toe, and then rummaged through the handbag . Something will chirp at you, even if the scanner does not see corals - and you are hit. You are not immune from this.

I agree with Anetka-gan, such "comrades" should be immediately blizzard. The people are accustomed to taking away "pebble-by-pebble" the property of other nations, "so that the memory remains." Therefore, the Egyptians have a law that allows saboteurs to be fined and imprisoned.

When I found a knife on the plane, I burst into tears in advance! Not a single trash can under your feet, the furniture is glass / metal, there is nowhere to throw it away. Well, everything, I think, hello, Arab prison! But no, it worked out somehow...

Well, carelessness is one thing. And when our citizens consciously like to play "I'll slip through, I won't slip through," and then they shed tears that fate is unfair to them, I don't sympathize a single gram. Adult people. I read in a travel magazine a piece of notes from a US traveler who said that the rules change from state to state. And a postscript with either irony or condescension: "And, most importantly, the Americans sacredly comply with these rules." This is bad???

And in the toilet? Yes, and are they cowardly on airplanes? The main thing is to pass the control before departure.

I am interested in jewelry bought in a good store, and not in such a way as to break off a branch and insert it into an earring.

Buy and put on yourself when going through customs.
I don't know about earrings and a ring, but coral beads by weight, then they bargained for up to 140 pounds, very heavy.

Well, if it is ABSOLUTELY forbidden to export corals from Egypt, then it means ... Is it smuggling. But if they are so cowardly for them ... I'm ashamed to admit it, but I don't know where else corals live, except for Egypt.
