Hello. We flew out of your airport yesterday. We really liked your city and people. You have a wonderful sea and friendly people! It's great! Thank you, I'm very grateful! But we had a strange situation at the airport - a girl at the desk (after all the checks, in front of the escalator at the airport) asked us to check our bags and didn't allow us to take a roll of bags with us. She took 3 bags in case we felt unwell on the plane and kept the rest for herself. I'm very curious about the danger. It's an amazing story))

It smells very strongly of cigarettes. The employees smoke right at their workplaces. The smoking room is not closed. There is no escape from the smell. Dear airport managers, this is not right, you must correct the situation, non-smokers should not suffer from cigarettes.

People are usually not friendly here, most of them cannot understand a word in english. Also there are some possibly unemployed people who run all over the place, offer funny services like carrying trolley bag (which is completely unnecessary) and they ask for tips all the time. I got the impression like the whole Egypt economy is based on giving tips, it is really annoying and disappointing. I will try to avoid this place in future. Not a dependable place.

На вылет терминал только для русских туристов грязь везде, куча досмотров постоянно кричат поведение персонала отвратительное к туристам. Ценников ни где нет как договоришься а если где то есть ценник то в местной валюте и сдача соответсвенно тоже, обманывают на каждом шагу. On departure terminal only for Russian tourists dirt everywhere, a lot of inspections constantly shouting behavior of the staff disgusting to tourists. There are no price tags anywhere how to agree and if somewhere there is a price tag then in local currency and accordingly change too, they cheat at every step. We will not fly to Egypt again with such a terrible attitude towards Russian tourists

A normal airport. Funny Arabs and security checks at every turn. We were immediately issued a Fast track, we were quickly escorted through 3 cordons, and migration cards were issued for us. No one rummaged through the suitcases, and no hand luggage was weighed. Duty Free with normal prices, I didn't notice any special margins. During landing, they inspect the hand surface with their eyes, mainly in search of lighters. With bottles of water, you can safely go through all the cordons, modern scanners distinguish water from prohibited substances. There is a lounge where you can wait for departure and have something to eat. In the reviews, they scare you with Arabs demanding gifts - this is a lie, they just flip through your passport and smile, they don't demand anything from you.

Not a bad little airport. There are queues for registration (of course!), where to go without them. Sometimes there is not enough air, but the air conditioner can not cope. But in principle, the staff is clean and polite. The only negative is for the toilets, the female one on the 1st floor (after registration) does not work. I had to walk to the Burger King (it's at the other end of the hall from passport control) and go up to the second floor, where he works. I won't say it's clean, but it's an airport, I'm making a discount on the flow)

It's a great airport, and your vacation starts there. The terminal is bright, very clean after renovation Passport control is a bit aggressive, it took 15 minutes)) be sure to take PENS to fill out the migration card, it's strange, but it's necessary)) Migration cards can be requested from employees because they are not placed on stands and tables. Affordable prices for coffee and water in the departure area.

My story began with the fact that I had to fly to Moscow from Charm. I stood at the reception desk in the queue (as usual, the last ones). There were two counters — one for checking in for a flight to Moscow in business class, the other in economy. We had economy tickets. From afar, I noticed an airport employee looking at me and asked me, "Are you flying alone?" For some reason, I decided to answer "yes." Then he came up to me, took my suitcase and documents, and went to check me out for a business class flight and check in my things. He filled out all the documents on his own, made arrangements and chose a place for me. He did everything for me, I just watched. I want to thank him very much — thanks to his help, I will remember this flight and this country forever. This act made my day special, and I am very happy. Thank you for your care and kindness!

We arrived early in the morning from Moscow - we went to the toilet - just a shock! There's dirt, no paper, and the toilet drains don't work. The horror!!!. Then, for filling out a queue-less migration card, they are bred for money. A thousand rubles per person. Unpleasant. There are only 5 minutes for two people.! Take your pen with you by all means. On departure, the business lounge is tiny. The choice is small. You can have a snack. There is a smoking room. A small duty free. The prices are high, as it seemed to me. . They inspect bags and documents several times. The lighter was taken away. But let them watch, it's calmer that everything will be fine.In general, the main thing is that we flew well, thank God.

By the way, the airport was pleasantly surprised on the whole: the staff was friendly enough, the children were smiling, they let me return to the first control point when I thought I had forgotten my watch in the tray, they even joked about it. In some places in the waiting room, you can buy goods for rubles by transfer to Tinkoff and Alfa-Bank. And what a smoking room they have! Baaa! - There's a whole Irish-style bar! It's beautiful, they speak Russian, it doesn't stink like a balloon. Only the toilets spoiled the impression a little, but not critically) Sabiha Gokcen looks worse and there are more people there (but their toilets are in excellent condition, by the way). Everything is comfortable enough, not too long, the queues are not huge, they disperse quickly.

Convenient airport. Information boards. Lots of snacking spots. Duty free. Sale of SIM cards. Currency exchange. At first glance, it seems that there are too many checks and inspections during boarding. But it's for our safety, so we can be patient. We arrived and left on schedule, without delay. The situation at the airport is working and calm, despite the conflict between Iran and Israel that began in March 2026.

On arrival, we pass very quickly. The staff is friendly, solves issues promptly, and enjoys communicating in Russian. On departure, they are meticulously examined. But quickly. Ticket registration is prompt, even the excess baggage is forgiven. 😀 Seats on the plane are provided nearby, without problems and surcharges. I didn't like it- the prices in the cafe are exorbitant, the toilets are not clean.

The airport is big. Upon arrival, there were huge queues at passport control, which is very inconvenient with an infant. There is no window for families with children, everyone is crowding in one queue. I took pictures of my suitcases before checking in, and upon arrival, they found my suitcase on the tape without the silicone case I bought for the trip. Someone probably needs it more 🤦🏻♀️ On the way back, they forced me to take off my shoes and pass them along the ribbon, and my husband's sandal did not come out. We stood and did not leave, as a result, the employee brought it from somewhere on the other side, by what miracle he turned out to be in another place, it is not clear, everything was put on tape and hand luggage and shoes, for some reason they do not have drawers like ours.

The airport is not huge, but the queues are something with something. You stand in line for 20-30 minutes for inspection before check-in, considering that these are passengers only on your flight. The toilets are clean. There are a couple of food court establishments, but they are not 24-hour. Dirty and sticky windows on the platform. There are very strong air conditioners blowing everywhere, if you fly out early in the morning, then you should take something to put on yourself.

The airport looks fresh and light. It looks like a big circus tent. Pros - generally enough for such a city. Cons -there are a lot of checks, there is a queue everywhere, they check even after customs and before boarding the plane. The toilets are separated - for men it is necessary to go up to another floor, which is not very convenient if you are with children. There is only one Dutifrey, the choice is so-so, there are almost no shares, you need to look at the price tag on the product itself. P.S. upon arrival in Sharm El-Sheikh, when we received our luggage, we found damage to the suitcase, the airport representatives merged, referring to the tour operator, although they had to file a claim against the airline.

Sharm el-Sheikh Airport is perhaps one of the most colorful and emotionally intense places on the tourist map of the world. It makes no sense to evaluate it by the standard standards of European hubs like Frankfurt or Munich; the laws of physics, time, and common sense apply here. The first impression usually depends on where you came from. If this is a charter flight from Russia after a five-hour flight with screaming children and duty-free packages under the seats, you will be greeted by the famous sauna. The terminal building is designed so that the air conditioners there are more decorative in nature, and the crowds of tourists create a greenhouse effect. Queuing at passport control is a separate type of meditation. She moves jerkily, sometimes stopping for no apparent reason at all, simply because the border guard decided to drink tea or chat with a colleague. But the main cherry on the cake is the visa and the Sinai stamp. All this performance, with the choice between buying a $25 stamp and a free Sinai stamp, is accompanied by an active whisper from Russian-speaking guides: "Only Sinai! As a result, a second, partisan queue of those who are trying to get the coveted stamp forms at the window, while the officer pretends that he does not understand a word of Russian and demands money. After passing through the control, the baggage belt's area of responsibility begins. This is the place where the suitcases make several laps of the ribbon before falling to the floor at the speed of a meteor. The tape can stop at any moment, forcing the crowd to take a step forward as a single organism, and then jerk back sharply. When your blue suitcase finally appears, it's time for VIP baggage handlers. These people have a supernatural flair: they materialize out of thin air exactly at the moment when your bags touch the floor, and persistently offer help, even if you only have one backpack. It's still more interesting in the departure area. Security here is elevated to an absolute degree of paranoia. Hand luggage is searched three times, employees are forced to open each tube of cream, sniff bottles of water and may be asked to turn on the laptop five times in a row. At the same time, you can carry at least a bunch of grenades through the metal detector frame if you smile at the employee correctly. Duty-free shops deserve a special mention. The assortment there is specific: kilometers of racks with Egyptian oil—based perfumes (which smell about the same - expensive-rich), hookahs of all stripes and souvenirs at exorbitant prices. Prices are often quoted in three currencies at once, but only local cashiers know the conversion rate, and it is always rounded against you.

Normal, understandable, even if something wasn't filled out, it was explained. I was surprised that the inspection of the hand luggage backpack was thorough. And they asked what was in a small bottle of 100 ml, although you can use such a volume of shower gel, opened it and smelled it. Well, I'm not sorry, they didn't find out. But more than one backpack was allowed in hand luggage, and each person had another package. You can't eat for rubles, you can eat for dollars, but it's expensive. A bottle of water is 1 dollar. I was pleased that there were a lot of seats waiting for the terminals, there was enough for everyone. There is a trash bin next to almost every row, with waste separation. The departure terminal number did not match, one number was written, and they were released to the bus through another. But the food was delicious on the plane. The child ate everything. The toilet is very clean. There are a lot of people, regular flights, but everyone is in a good mood.

We love Egypt and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh very much. But the airport, or rather its operation on departure, is a creepy portal for movement! And it's all done artificially by the staff, If the main thing on arrival is to have a voucher at hand or an explanation why you don't have it, in order to get a migration card to fill out! And that's okay! It's okay! Although it is not clear why not make a handle to the planes, so as not to stuff buses full of people! Then the flight spoils the vacation experience even for the most relaxed tourists!!! It all starts with the approach to the airport entrance: annoying porters with trolleys, this is a minor evil. Then you need to show a route receipt (e-ticket) at the entrance and a better printed one to the guards so that they can let you through, and then the quest begins! Next, you need to go through the control at the entrance to the airport, where you also need to show your ticket and passport, then you need to be ready in advance to put everything: watches, jewelry, glasses and PASSPORT in a bag or backpack, because otherwise it will just fly on a dirty tape and may not leave the X-ray machine. :-) And no one will give you containers! Maximum crowd and fuss is created at each stage! Then check-in and baggage weighing! And since there are no scales at the airport, all the surprises force people to transfer things from suitcases to backpacks at check-in, swear and then pay anyway to pay $ 10 per 1kg of excess weight. Although putting scales at the entrance and half of the incidents will not occur! But the whole point is to torture tourists! After checking in your luggage and filling out your migration card and border control, the fun begins... Total control and search! It's better to stock up on shoe covers in advance! If you don't want to walk barefoot on a dirty floor! Put all your belongings in your carry-on bag and try to grab a drawer for clothes and shoes! Because otherwise it's stressful! But if you go further in other airgavans, you can relax and relax in the arctic, but not here! At your exit from the security area, they check the stamp in your passport, selectively search your hand luggage, so it's best to hide everything valuable and incomprehensible away, or put it in your pockets! But they also force you to sign in an obscure magazine! Now you can go and relax in the Business Lounge, which can only be accessed by elevator, because the stairs are blocked. Or take a walk in Dutifray, where you will be tormented by managers! Therefore, it's better to run to the Burger King on the third floor! There is no one there and there are free toilets! But in order for you to remember the rest for a long time, before boarding at the exit to the buses, everyone is gathered in front of the paddock and again passport stamps are checked, hand luggage is searched, so you need to put everything away as much as possible and in your pockets, they are no longer being looked at, and women should take all cosmetics bags into their backpacks, because they They inspect it especially carefully! Then they will gather everyone in the pen, before going out, and they will marinate for a long time, but there is no toilet and there are not enough chairs for everyone! Then, at the exit to the bus, they can check your passports and boarding passes again, fill the bus full and keep you there for a very long time until you finally get tired! When exiting the bus, you may be mobbed once more in front of the ramp! And those who survived, passed all the tests, will be able to get on the plane and be very happy about it!!!

Business lounge First of all, they didn't even greet us in the business lounge. Secondly, if you plan to purchase access to a business lounge, I strongly advise AGAINST it. It was dirty, there was almost no food, in the morning there was bread, rolls, strange-looking vegetables, sausages and potatoes, dry ala-rustic. Tea bags without individual packaging, they are not even worth taking, who touched them and with what hands.. coffee is normal. It's better to spend money on a slice of pizza/sandwich and a drink at a regular cafe. Everything looks much more appetizing there. An airport. When taking off, the suitcase was sorted right down to the underwear, and the hand luggage was also checked. Passport control and registration were quick. But the flight was greatly delayed, departure was scheduled at 9:00 a.m., and we were put on buses only at 8:55 a.m. Then, when everyone sat down, they waited for the documents from Egypt for the flight for another 15 minutes. As a result, only about 10 flew out. English is very poorly spoken by the staff.

It's a small airport, we didn't get in the queue, we went through all the stages very quickly, the inspection wasn't stressful, it was more like observing a formality... If you arrived earlier, then be ready to wait at the entrance, the guard won't let you in until your flight is not on the scoreboard. Then everything is as usual, standard chairs for waiting, kfc, bar, and dutik. Boarding a plane is only via bus.

There were a lot of people on the flight, but everything went quickly enough. After checking in for the flight, you need to fill out the same card.… The duty free zone is very interesting))) There are no paper price tags in the cosmetics store!

It was in June 2024. The time for registration and customs control was minimal, without long queues. The territory is clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly. Terminal 1 consists of three parts: two circular halls connected by a wedge-shaped space called the "boat". It is a transit hub for passengers, which houses passport control points, duty-free shops and VIP areas, as well as cafes and restaurants. The halls, which contrast sharply in texture with the massive "boat", have airy, swaying, tent-like roofs inspired by the Bedouin culture.

Upon arrival, we didn't notice any problems, except for filling out migration cards, which are impossible to find freely, but there are a lot of helpers who filled out the cards for us for 1000 rubles. And the return flight was a song... we were supposed to take off at 17.30 and arrive in Domodedovo at 23.45, the transfer from the hotel was supposed to pick up at 13.30 But two times the departure from the hotel was delayed due to the postponement of the departure time At 5.30 p.m. we were taken to the airport, but there some formidable and arrogant boss said "early" and they refused to inspect us and let us through to the airport. But the boss at the next terminal turned out to be kinder and allowed us to pass. There are no modern means of control at the airport and the control was carried out manually, there were migration exit cards in free mode and we filled them out who was good at what - the neighbors wrote that they had not written a flight from the USSR and their cards were thrown into the table without looking like ours Next, the second control was waiting for us, again with manual control, that is, you feel yourself in manual mode We sat in the departure lounge for three hours, and the carrier company gave us plastic boxes with sandwiches and water. But it was very disappointing to see that other flights to Moscow departed according to schedule, unlike our EgiptAir In the end, we were put on a plane, then we spent about an hour on the plane, and only after that we finally took off at about 11.50 p.m. and then arrived at Domodedovo without incident at 6 a.m. where we were surprised by the lack of Internet on our phones, meaning you could only order a taxi through a phone call. And one more thing: we had business class tickets and we were served in business class at Domodedovo airport. But there is no such service at Sharm el Sheikh airport for business class ticket holders, it is available only for holders of privileged credit cards.

The airport is quite compact and cozy. Upon arrival, the path from the plane to the luggage is intuitive. Representatives of tour operators immediately take over.. You get the migration card forms from them. And you seem to know how to fill it out, but they convince you that you understand that you don't understand anything) And in the rush you pay for filling out. A little bit. There is a visa sales room behind the tour operators (if you need to travel outside the Sinai Peninsula). They are pasted by tour operators, along with filling out the cards. Everyone and everywhere asks for Alyonka's chocolates, even if it's a paid service. They didn't give it to anyone. After the luggage at the exit, you can take, if necessary, a local SIM card. On departure, you can visit DutiFry. I just got the impression that the usual stores. There is a smoking room, non-dirty toilets, a cafe with not very tasty coffee. Three inspections. Luggage, manual, and manual again before the gate. 0.5% of the water was not taken away.

An international airport must comply with international standards. This airport looks like a huge, unkempt barn. You can buy disgusting coffee for a lot of money here. There are huge queues at the cafe because there are very few cafes there for so many people. The airport's access control system leaves much to be desired, in addition to the various metal detector frames and baggage screening devices, you will be personally searched several more times. During the landing, the airport staff so poorly organized the passage of passengers to the departure point that they almost missed the flight. The shortcomings of this airport can be listed for a long time.

From the good news: the security check is not for show — everything is grown-up, you feel safe. And you can also sit quietly and have a snack at Burger King: it's delicious and clean, great to pass the time before departure. But that's what bothered me.: Queues at passport control on arrival — we stood for about an hour. There is a strong feeling that this is being done on purpose so that people are more willing to take Fast Track. For some reason, they force you to fill out a paper migration card, even if you don't take a visa. It seems like a small thing, but it's unpleasant: an extra step and an extra piece of paper. Apart from these points, the airport is normal, it's quite comfortable to wait for the flight here.

There's always someone banging on the wall. And the walls are tilted for some reason. They check the passport at every step. For some reason, you need to fill out a ticket, although there is no such thing in Russia and everything is in electronic form.

It was terrible. Standing in queues, starting from the entrance to the airport and before boarding the plane. The staff is soooo slow at check-in. Next, you need to take off your shoes during the inspection, they don't even provide shoe covers, no containers for things, you just need to throw everything on the tape along with your shoes. Well, the final inspection before boarding the plane: again, the division into men and women, looking into women's handbags, searched earlier. You can't go to the bathroom just like that, only with a boarding pass and then another inspection, when you say you've just been here, they still require an inspection. This is a rare outrage.

I've been flying to Sharm for more than 15 years, and the airport has remained dusty and dreary. Recent impressions: - there are searches at every step, and for show, they don't really look at the passport, you can safely carry water in your hand luggage even through the scanner tape. At the same time, lighters and a limit of one bottle of water per person are taken away before boarding the plane. Well, it's strange:) - The toilets are dirty, although they are constantly closed supposedly for cleaning. Yeah. At the entrance, an impudent cleaning lady occasionally tries to demand money for admission. - Duty Free, the choice is not very large, but the prices are very reasonable. Consultants are not intrusive, if you say that you do not need help, no one will bother you. - Food in the cafe. You can't guess here. On one visit I ate and everything was fine, on the other I got poisoned by pizza, I barely flew to Moscow. At the same time, I give 4 stars, after all, the staff tries to do everything quickly, the queues do not drag on, if you need help, they will prompt you. Smile and you will smile back.

I didn't like the relationship. At least don't take your passport away, even though we went to the airport and took the tickets, the guy was cheerful, at least some positive. Everyone was checked for boarding again, and so were the bags. I love comfort, but I didn't like it here, it's not very clean, there's no paper in the toilet, and there's no soap either. They didn't even dare go into the cafe. This is my personal opinion.

We visited this airport in July 2025. My impressions are mixed. Positive: A beautiful building, especially Terminal 1: clean, spacious, air—conditioned - this is important in the Egyptian heat. Easy navigation: the signs are clear, the staff tells you if something is unclear. Quick passport control (at least it passed without delay). There are many duty free shops, there are souvenirs, perfumes, sweets. Minuses: Intrusive workers: They often offer to "help" with luggage for tips, even if you refuse. High cost: prices in cafes and airport shops are above average, a bottle of water is like a full meal. Wi-Fi is unstable — it doesn't work everywhere and often requires authorization, which doesn't always work. Baggage control queues can be long during rush hours, especially at departure times. The general conclusion is that the airport is working efficiently, the staff is trying, but tourists need to be attentive, especially to "services for money." It is quite a decent level for Egypt.

Disgusting. They seem to have done something similar to the airport, they understand how it should work in their own way. After passport control and inspection, there is one queue at three gates, they are not allowed to enter the gate until boarding begins, the queue is shared, leaving it is not an option, you will not be able to enter quickly later. As a result, instead of sitting quietly and waiting for boarding at the gate, people stand in line for an hour, the seats at the gates are empty. The queue doesn't have a scoreboard, it's unclear if they're about to be released or if the flight was delayed by three hours. The general impression from the organization of work is that it makes absolutely no difference to the convenience of the guests of the country, they make it convenient for themselves, the rest does not matter.

I recently visited Sharm el-Sheikh airport, and my impressions were mostly positive. The airport was pleasantly surprised by its modern design and convenient navigation. The registration process was quick, and queues were minimal. The staff is polite and helpful, which creates a comfortable atmosphere. Shops and cafes offer a good choice of places to have a snack or buy souvenirs. However, it is worth noting that some areas may be overloaded with tourists, especially during high season. There are also several complaints about the cleanliness of the toilets, but overall the airport looks well maintained. Conclusion: this is a good airport with a friendly atmosphere, but it is worth preparing for some inconveniences during peak hours. I recommend it! ✈️🌴

The airport is small, and there are long queues. A very strict inspection, after passing through all the control points, right before boarding the plane, they start shaking up all the things again. We were in the Pearl business lounge, it's also tin, dirty, there's absolutely nothing to eat, there's no alcohol. So we took a couple of Pepsi bottles with us from the business lounge, and they were taken from us before entering the plane. Another moment with filling out the return flight card, there are tables where to sit, but there are no pens, so be sure to take pens with you, otherwise stress is guaranteed.

It seems like a good airport, but security was completely killed. Almost everywhere there is luggage all the time, both on X-ray and manually. Even before boarding, you are fully checked, although you have already been checked three times before entering the clean zone, including manually checking your hand luggage. Moreover, there is no toilet in the gate where you were last checked. And if you need to go to the bathroom or smoke, then you go out, and then again everything is in line for checking. It's just awful. As it is, there seems to be a smoking room, dutiki, and many cafes.

A convenient airport is located near the city. You can get from the hotel by taxi. One of the disadvantages: There is a very thorough search at the entrance, suitcases are checked at the exit, which creates a queue, and payment in shops and cafes is only in dollars/ euros and foreign cards.

I flew through this airport, and the impressions are twofold. The airport itself is small and compact enough — in theory, everything can be done quickly. But that would be if it weren't for the endless searches. There are really a thousand of them here! It seems to me that there are no other airports in the world with such a large number of checks. Every time you pack your things back, you walk a couple of meters — and undress again, get out the equipment. It's really exhausting, especially before the flight. On the downside, the toilets, to be honest, are not very clean. It bothered me, especially in the heat, when I want freshness. But if we put aside these points, then everything is quite normal for a tourist airport. In general, I have met expectations — it is compact, there is a basic set of services. But the cleanliness and number of inspections should definitely be reviewed.

It feels like you're in the market. The airport is old, very dirty, and small, and it's not clear why they check their passports and tickets 5 times, thereby creating artificial queues. The staff come up and offer to go through everything without queuing. The airport greatly spoils the not particularly good opinion of this resort. The business lounge is a separate story, you can safely get poisoned, everything is dirty in the fall, the coffee machine is not clear how many days it has not been washed.
