The UK government has begun lifting the recent restriction on electronics in cabin baggage that were imposed on inbound flights from the Egyptian Red Sea airports at Hurghada and Marsa Alam. Passengers will now be able to carry cameras, laptops and other electronic items in the cabin as was the case prior to 28 July 2017.

As a cautionary note, these changes can take some time to be completely implemented in local airports. It will be wise to check with airlines and travelers that have visited the airport recently to confirm how the situation is “on the ground”.
