Le personnel au premier contrôle des bagages pour le retour était irrespectueux et grossier. Ma femme qui portait notre enfant de 1 an sur elle est sortie de ses gonds lorsque la contrôleuse s'est permise de touché la gamine. Après une mauvaise expérience avec un chauffeur de taxi et des enfumages multiples de la part des commerçants locaux, c'était la goutte d'eau de trop. Nous ne reviendrons pas en vacances dans ce pays

- Chaos von Anfang bis Ende - drei- bis vierfache sehr unfreundliche Kontrollen - sehr unfreundliches Personal, welches die Leute feixend regelrecht antreibt und dann selbst rumtrödelt, gefühlt wie Schikane - alles von oben herab, fürchterlich - Shops völlig überteuert - Toiletten soweit okay

Rude people and excessive security. During passport control, I was filling out a form on my phone and my partner gave our boarding passes and passports to the security. They wanted to confirm our identities so we had to look up once. I looked up slightly later when I noticed he needed to see my face. Then he refused to give me my passport back, because he was angry at me?? Truly crazy and unprofessional behavior. I did get my passport back eventually but very intimidating staff, I do not recommend.

Rude staff, revolting toilets! Moved around between 6 desks and back again with luggage and young children late at night. Staff stood around, ignoring waiting customers. No pens available although insisted you fill out forms that are not checked. Same shop open x6 of them, no other food options available. Clean walking through to gate, toilets with bins on, no toilet roll, dirty, no soap, hand towels. Nothing. This was numerous toilet areas. 5/6 flights in the space of a few hours going from the same areas you would have expected better!

During the security screening, I politely asked the staff to allow me to avoid walking through the body scanner because I am pregnant and did not want to be exposed to any unnecessary radiation. To my surprise, they refused, even though this has never happened to me at any other airport. One of the officers even tried to force me to go through the scanner twice. Fortunately, another officer intervened, but I still refused. Both officers became visibly upset, and I had to ask for a supervisor. The supervisor understood the situation, but by then the two officers had already lied, backing each other up by claiming that I had never gone through the screening. The way I was treated was completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. The airport itself was dirty, the service was poor, and the security procedures seemed excessive and poorly managed. Even very young children were required to remove their shoes during screening, which felt unnecessary and unreasonable. This was my last visit to Egypt. The entire experience was disappointing and left a very negative impression.

We've been to Egypt now a few times but each time the customs at Hurghada Airport was at the lowest performance. Unfriendly and arrogant. Unhelpful and sometimes rather mean and with bullying tendency. Information about delays or trouble are not shared. It feels every time like you are as a tourist not welcome there and if you are more an annoyance than a paying guest.

-5 Sterne wäre nötig! Arrogantes Personal, schmutzig, dummes Sicherheitspersonal! Mussten zum eintritt unsere Flugnummer nennen habe ich gemacht, ohne zu schauen sagte er das ist falsch existiert nicht, erst als ich ihn weil ich sauer wurde bedrohte( weiss das war dumm) nahm er es ernst und schaute nach, und ich hatte recht! Zweite Kontrolle, dürfen erst 3 Stunden vor dem Abflug zum Checkin. (Abflug 13:00Uhr/ Aktuelle Zeit9:57) er behauptete geht noch über eine Stund bis wir rein dürfen. Erst als ich nach dem Vorgesetzten verlangte wurden wir reingelassen. Ich lieb Ägypten, aber Hurgada niemals wieder! Ich Reise viel! Aber wie erwähnt, noch nie so viele dumme arrogante Menschen auf einem Platz gesehen!

The problem at Hurghada airport is the excessive security for departures. Arrivals only require one passport check, unlike departures. To enter the airport you have to show your passport, then you show it to a different person before lining up for the first baggage check. The personnel at the x-ray machines are surly, unhelpful and overly aggressive. Having loaded you hold and cabin bags they require you to put all other items in boxes, of which their is a shortage. This included a plastic shoe horn and a lip salve. After baggage check in you have to fill out another form similar to the landing form which is completely ignored when you go through immigration. After that you show your passport once again before passing your cabin bag and all the other items through yet another x-ray, including the previously mentioned plastic items. To leave this area I had to show my passport once again. Then as you approach the boarding gate, yet another passport check. At each x-ray they insist on separate lines for ladies and gentlemen. As a result I was separated from my wife and assumed she had gone to the boarding gate. Once I realised she was not there I went back to the immigration section but the gate security man would not allow me to go back. I do not think that we will visit Egypt again as the experience at the airport is so annoying, unnecessary and distressing. One of our party also had his cigarettes confiscated for no reason and the assumption was that the security man put them in his pocket for his use.
