Arriving in Cairo

Clearing customs should present no problems for short-term travelers and usually takes less than 10 minutes, if that. Declare all electronic equipment you're bringing into the country. While laptop computers and cellular phones are no longer problematic, portable printers and fax machines can be. You may be required to pay a cash deposit on these, which will be refunded when you leave the country. You can bring up to one carton of cigarettes and three bottles of alcohol into the country.
