It is impossible in hand luggage, but in luggage we once took a package of water (6 * 1.5) without problems, and friends put 5 liters in luggage.
On subsequent trips, everything was included and water was bought in supermarkets in Egypt, the price is the same as ours, they brought it to the hotel in a backpack.

Keep in mind that if the reception notices the transfer of water to the hotel, then the water will be taken away and may be fined.

in fact, not every hotel has such terrible rules that they will not allow you to carry a bottle of ordinary drinking water. My tourists often carry even crates of beer and nothing. The main thing is how the staff treats you. And he treats you the way you treated him on the first day of your stay (as a rule), and in the following days.

I agree with Amir 100%. A smile of 32 teeth - if everything is available :))) - and in front. But they always smiled and greeted each other, even with empty bags.
аватар for_luda
the first time I hear that they are fined for water ... they never hid it and carried it open. What kind of evil hotel did you have ???
аватар Simauma
In our hotel, too, it was allegedly impossible to carry anything. We bought the largest bottle of water, drank a bit and calmly carried it to the hotel in the side pocket of our backpack.

do not choose hotels in EGYPT, where there are restrictions on drinks (and even more so BANNING ON BRINGING WATER PURCHASED IN A SUPERMARKET to the HOTEL!!! ROAD KETTLE, TEA-COFFEE-SUGAR (extension)
аватар Anetka-gan
you can always buy water in the market, the prices are the same as at home, the water is of good quality. put in the bag and go. The guard has no right to check your bag. we carried food from the delivery - smiled and everything is ok!

A smile will make everyone warmer, And the elephant and even the Egyptian guard))))
Smile and be nice to people and no one will fine you for water

Some Hotels prohibit water from being brought in due to the fact that many tourists bought water on their hands, and then there were cases of poisoning, and the victims made a presentation to the hotel. At least that's what the owner of the hotel explained to me. It is not necessary to bring water with you if you do not use it for medicinal purposes, like Polyana Kvasova, you can buy all the water in the supermarket, and take a check, they must pass it, again, the owner explained.
аватар Zlata28
why bring water from here?
buy water on the spot in any supermarket
no problem :)))
аватар viacheslavv
The thing is that this hotel is located in the desert on the seashore, there are no supermarkets nearby, on the territory of the hotel one and a half liters costs $ 3-4, but I have already found a way out. We have a (Russian) manufacturer (I will not advertise) that has created a nozzle for a faucet (with a volume of less than 200 grams of a glass) that perfectly cleans water with antibacterial properties.
Total I take for 15 days only one 5 l. a bottle of water and a nozzle and everything should be OK.
I will post as soon as I arrive.
аватар Zlata28
well in that case
good luck to you :))

Dear vjacheslavv, the fact is that the water there is desalinated sea water, and purification may not solve the problem, yet drinking distillate is very dangerous for health.

Do not forget to take pills with you just in case of diarrhea (poisoning) when changing food -
Loperamide - as an astringent
Nifuroxazide - from intestinal infections and sticks,
Activated carbon
аватар for_luda
oh how I doubt that the nozzle will help
аватар viacheslavv
The fact that it is desalinated is understandable and I know it. In addition, we will boil and pour into a bottle when going to the beach with the addition of natural lemon juice.
As for the pills - it's right and thank you, but I think all the food in the restaurant is cooked in the same water (desalinated) and on my own there was no mass poisoning. Anyway, I don't know about that.
And still I am grateful to you for the answers.
аватар elenako
Our friends go there only with a similar apparatus_ the wife is a real water drinker, it’s just right to go there to take sugar tests. Nobody got poisoned.
аватар nadin65
Add not lemon, but LIME, which is always present in large quantities in the hotel-restaurant of Egypt. Lime is more concentrated and more beneficial from lemon - for the intestines and digestion, for the heart and blood vessels,
for skin, for teeth and gums, for nervous and immune systems.
аватар viacheslavv
Thanks for the LIME, they suggested it, but I forgot, although there really is a lot of this good.
аватар Kasja23
I also do not believe in the effectiveness of the nozzle. Desalinated water, purely by its salt-free characteristics, causes frustration (remember the school concepts about dialysis and osmosis) Boiling does not help. But ... If you want to serve science, you can take a chance. Write about your impressions later. Although they will also be subjective - it all depends the initial state of your digestive system.

write, in which hotel "in the desert by the sea" do you "doom" to such torment due to the lack of: free fresh water, supermarkets nearby and prohibitions on bringing something bought outside the hotel (although there is nothing around)? For what? The meaning of the chosen vacation spot? Price? Interest in the exotic?
However, the EGYPTIANS SHOULD NOT PROVOKE ANY TROUBLE WITH THE HEALTH OF TOURISTS due to the limitation of fresh water in the desert. Especially for the sake of the popularity of their hotels. WISH YOU A HAPPY REST! ​​Write how you had a rest.
аватар Kasja23
Very many hotels in Marsa Alam, located in the desert, do not have free bottled water. Paid - $ 3 -1.5l, or even 3 euros. This is how hotels earn. And they go there for unique corals, silence, lack of crowds in the hotel and on the beach, correct staff.
аватар viacheslavv
I answer LANGIS
LIVING UNDER WATER (THIS IS THE MAIN AND MAIN FACTOR)
Fully agree with Kasja23
Finally, we decided and paid for a ticket from March 31 for 15 days to HOLIDAY BEACH RESORT MARSA ALAM. I liked the prices and time - April. It should not be very windy, all the more so I read somewhere on the forum that when the breeze then the vacationers went to the beach to the hotel nearby (At a distance of 510 m (measured using Google earth) from the entrance of the Holiday beach Resort hotel there is the entrance of the Iberotel Coraya Beach hotel, there the bay is protected from the winds), no one stopped them.
In general, the decision has been made, now it remains to pray for the weather.
Who wants to make a company (even for a smaller number of days) I advise. The choice was based on THREE main factors
1) LIVESTOCK UNDER WATER (THIS IS THE MAIN AND MAIN FACTOR);
2) PRICE;
3) TIME
