Of course in luggage. Already bought delicious wine :). I can’t find any restrictions on wine anywhere, only strong alcohol and beer are written.

I flew to Egypt this summer. I was carrying 2 bottles of delicious Georgian wine in my suitcase. No problems. Feel free to take it, just pack it well!

I don’t see a problem at all, take it through the inspection without any problems. I transported more volume and stronger drinks. The only thing they wrote correctly is to pack well (insulate with bags, in case they break it so that it doesn’t hit things) and put things around, as loaders throw suitcases can or drop.

For 1 person, 1 liter of alcohol such as vodka, cognac, etc., and 1.5 liters of wine or beer. Put everything in a suitcase and watch its weight. They won’t let anything from home in hand luggage on the plane, only from duty. The travel agent should have told you everything during the briefing.

Change the travel agent. This is a mandatory procedure, it takes 10-15 minutes to receive the tour package. This is not the first time I fly to Egypt, the travel agent is the same, it would seem that we already know everything, but before each flight, a briefing is required - what if something has changed in the rules or I forgot. And also, look at your rules for EXPORTING alcohol abroad, otherwise there may be problems at your customs. In Ukraine, our customs check the export rate, but it may not coincide with the rate of import into Egypt. This is a problem on which tourists, without instructions, do not focus attention, and it can ruin the vacation.

He should not control the number of bottles. The job of a GOOD travel agent, to whom you will return again and again, is not only to sell you a ticket, but also to ensure that you have a comfortable and safe vacation.
And here the briefing is obligatory, if the ticket was bought via the Internet, then an information sheet should be sent to you.
The tourist should receive information from the tour operator, and not look for answers to all questions on the Internet.
For this he pays money.
If it's not a secret, then write to which hotel you are flying.

This briefing is not about alcohol, but also about the amount of alcohol allowed for transportation. The briefing also includes: the availability of necessary medicines, the rules for transporting stabbing, cutting, flammable, rules of conduct in unforeseen situations, rules for using insurance, etc.

The travel agent must also show how the flight attendants, before the plane takes off, also show the rules of survival or pretend to be Israeli border guards with their questions and searches. Should there be a briefing about a taxi to the airport? Instructing how much alcohol can you drink in the hotel?

Alla, you know, I remembered how the agent answered me when I asked if a visa to Egypt is required, or if a Sinai only stamp is enough. I had an answer - and if you lose your passport, how will you go to the consulate in Cairo? Somehow I didn’t realize right away, and then it dawned on me that if I lose my passport, then my visa too. How will I get to Cairo? Maybe I came across a not very competent employee, but I thought about it, even asked a question here.

Well, for this, a mini briefing is needed, where they explain that a mandatory visa is needed only in Hurghada, but in Sharm, if you are not going to travel outside Sinai, then no. That you need to hide your passport in a safe immediately upon arrival at the hotel and use it in sightseeing trips in Egypt, or to go outside the hotel, only with a voucher. And it may also be useful for you: upon arrival in Hurghada at the airport at the check-in counters, enterprising Arabs sell a visa for $ 27, and at the bank’s cash desk, which is located next to the counters 25.

alla.neshcheretnaya, this travel agent should warn about the price of a visa, and not you on some left site. Another travel agent must pack a suitcase and provide a transfer to the airport. For this they are paid money. But not the same as usual for the tour, but an order of magnitude more in dollar terms.

And what are you doing on this on your left site? Moreover, you are a walker on all topics, only constructive answers are not enough. People need primary information, and they really need to clarify it with a travel agent. And about the dollar equivalent, my travel agent receives a standard the price for the ticket, but the informational support is excellent. Maybe it all depends on the attitude of the travel agent to his work and our respect for ourselves. Although what am I talking about ..
