Are there still limitations on the size of camera lenses that can be brought in to Egypt. I have heard that lenses larger than 50mm are not allowed and could be confiscated. Thanks for any updates.

No issues about equipment for personal use. There are places that photography isn’t allowed (inside the Great Pyramid at Giza, for example), or you may have to pay an extra fee for photography in many places, but there’s no issue about personal equipment.

I have no info on lens size but it is important to use a neutral filter to protect from blowing sand and dust. Many a lens has been ruined by not having protection. A skylight filter will also work and a circular polarizing filter can also be very useful. All of these cost far less than replacing a ruined lens.
