Despite the difficult situation in Egypt, this airport has got no worse since I was last here two years ago
(neither has it got any better). It was clean and it had adequate facilities for the reduced number of
passengers now using the airport. Duty Free prices are ridiculously high and therefore not as well used as
they could be. There is free wifi but I could not get a reliable signal. Baggage delivery on arrival was
astonishingly fast - a quality for other airports to copy. The longest queues were those going through security
at the front door of the airport, other security queues were quite short.

Arriving passengers are bussed to the terminal where visa stamps are paid for / or collected.
These are not visas in the traditional sense but a tourist tax of $15. Immigration simply
involves having your passport stamped (there seemed to be no checks) and this was done
speedily. Baggage delivery was very quick on a fast moving belt and you are soon outside of
the terminal building. Departing passengers have to endure a number of queues to get into the
terminal but once through check-in is reasonably quick. Luggage weight checks are very
thorough and they seem disappointed if your luggage is within limits and recheck it a few
times in the hope it gets heavier. Departure forms are completed after check-in, air-side
there are the usual range of caes (some offering free WiFi which is really great) and things
you never knew you wanted. Buses take you to your plane. This would be a good airport by
European standards and is an example to others in Egypt of how it can be done. The one thing
that annoyed me was that in the Gents Toilets (supposedly free) you were hassled (even whilst
occupied!) for a tip by the attendant – he did not get one.

A very new airport with few flights. Lots of parking and an outdoor cafe. Check-in easy
because it is not very busy, once past security, the gate area is small but with plenty of
seats. Duty free is expensive (priced in US$), costa coffee, pizza, ice creams and a cafe
provide more food than at many airports. Toilets are clean. Free WIFI is good and fast. Buses
to the planes (no airbridges at all). Very good for an Egyptian airport.
