We travelled to Cairo, Aswan & Luxor only last month and there are 2 ways to purchase.
If you buy within 24hrs of arriving - you can purchase a slightly higher amount of spirits.
But you can buy from the government shop within 48hrs of your arrival.
I can't see that it will be any different in Sharm.

I'm not sure about alcohol but the limit for cigarettes is 200 per person for taking back to the UK. Non-European limits apply

is it true that you have to buy your duty free within 24hous of landing in egypt we are off next week and have just been told this.
I think it may be 48 hours.
it was 24 hours when we was there but thats for the duty shop and you need your passport aswell
you can still buy duty free from other shops just not from the duty free shop after the 24 hours

I paid £7.99 for a litre of malibu as it costs £6 for one in hard rock cafe at Luton airport and took it through.
Do I buy my duty frees on the plane, or do I resist and save money and buy them in Egypt.
Does anybody know prices in Hurghada ?

I can't remember how much they cost as I'd given up when I was in Sharm this year, but if you're after a specific brand I'd recommend you buy them on the plane.
Don't know about Hurghada but in Sharm two years ago the choice was limited.

If you want an English brand, it's probably cheaper buying them airside at the airport.
eg: XL--------400 Superkings £35
Manchester Duty free-----1000 Superkings £70
I personally wouldn't buy the egyptian "version" of english cigarettes If you want Egyptian cigarettes-Cleopatra etc------they're really, really cheap, about 20p per pack!

So is it worth waiting till I land in Hurghada and can you buy them at the airport on arrival?
Earlier posts imply that they are seriously cheaper than on the plane!
