We fly to Sharm el-Sheikh with a connection in Cairo. Docking time 24 hours
Hello! We fly to Sharm el-Sheikh with a connection in Cairo. Docking time 24 hours. We plan to spend the night at this time and conduct a sightseeing tour of Cairo. If you buy alcohol in Moscow duty free, do not open the package, will they then let you take it as hand luggage on the Cairo-Sharm el-Sheikh flight?

But if you are flying with a connection, through the transit zone and without an exit, then a duty-free sealed bag can be carried if the customs rules for the connection allow it. Managers in duty-free stores know these rules and before selling they check whether you can sell goods or not.
At the moment when you re-enter the sharm airport and go to the departure, then according to the rules of flights, you will not be able to use the duty free shop, since the flights take place within the country.
But in Egypt there are fake duty free shops that sell anything and anywhere, so there may be an exception to the rule.

No, they definitely won’t let you in, put it in your luggage (you will have to check it in to Cairo, and a day later to your final destination).

They will not let you in Cairo with alcohol on the plane. If it is not possible to remove alcohol in luggage, it is better not to buy it. You can buy alcohol in the duty free of Sharm el-Sheikh for two days upon arrival.

TTT575, in Sharm there are several dutiks in the city: in Nabq, in Soho, in the Old Market and somewhere else. It is not necessary to go to the airport. In which area of Sharma you will rest, look for the nearest one there, people will tell you.

In Sharm, there is a limit on alcohol in Dutykph - 3 liters per person from 21 years old. The passport is stamped 3A. Upon departure, if the rate is selected, alcohol will not be sold.

TTT575, when you get your luggage in Sharm, turn left just before you exit the street, they have a dutik when you exit the airport. We were at the end of October, arrived at night, the dutik at the exit from the airport was working.

All these "duty free" one big scam. Now in any city in Russia, as well as in Ukraine, you can buy almost everything for the same money. Everywhere is full of booze, for every taste and every wallet .... buy, put it in your suitcase and take it without problems. Well, what can you buy special in "duty free"?

lazy_person, I looked at the website of the dutik, 1 liter of Finland - 16 euros (1200 rubles), in Auchan a little more than 1500 rubles. Taking into account the euro exchange rate, the price is almost equal. It makes sense that when buying in duty free, the weight of the suitcase does not increase and you do not have to worry about possible surcharges in case of overweight.

TTT575 Well, except for the sake of reducing excess weight in a suitcase. It used to be, when they still lived in the Union, there was a point in these "duty free". Nowhere, but you could buy it there. And in general, the meaning of these "Dutiks" is not clear now. In the neutral zone, the waiting zone, of course - duty-free trading for currency. Now I don’t understand at all ... I flew in, went across the border, got my luggage, go out into the street and suddenly “Duty free”? What kind of "duty free" is it if it's not in the neutral zone? The meaning of "duty free" is in the neutral zone of the airport and only for convertible currency. In Kyiv, flying out of Boryspil, he repeatedly purchased in "Duty free" and paid in hryvnia. Then I compared prices with ordinary shops in the city or with the "Rozetka" and it turned out that the "duty free" of the airport is more expensive ...

lazy_person, I don’t know about you, but in our store, for example, Jack Daniels costs 1.5-2 times more than in a dutik. And as a store drink, I doubt it.

Did you read my answer carefully? Try to pay at the airport in "Duty free" in rubles, not dollars or euros. At the cash desk of "Dutik" they will be skillfully transferred to foreign currency. So you get "Jack Daniels", which in the city ... maybe it will come out even more expensive.
And you will not always find in the "dutik" what you would like. Well, in which "duty free" there is "Vaspurakan" or "Dvin"? The city is, at the airport or in Egypt is unlikely.

lazy_person, no need to be smart, we fly twice a year and pay in rubles and euros. I didn’t talk about exotic drinks, I gave a specific example about the most popular whiskey. No one is forcing you to buy alcohol in a dutik.

You keep this mentoring tone to yourself (“no need to be smart”). What is necessary and what is not necessary I will decide for myself. I don't force you either.
