Hi,
When you are leaving England to go to Egypt and you are at the duty free you can bring as much as you want into Egypt as it is not in Europe so it is not limited. You can then buy more on the flight, and when you arrive in Egypt you will find a duty free at the airport so should you want more you can do. This is where it gets slightly complicated. If you have landed in Egypt and have not left the airport you can but 4 litres of spirits and 600 cigarettes per adult.
Should you leave the airport then you have the option to go to the duty free, this depends which airport you are landing in if it is Cairo it is in a shopping mall called City Stars, in Sharm el Sheikh it is next to the Kharmana hotel in Naama Bay (which is the tourist area) If you are going to Luxor it is behind the Emilio hotel. You only have 48hours to do this from when you have arrived so you must take your passport and either £ $ or € sometimes they accept credit card but not always so it is better to take cash.
When you are leaving Egypt at all the airports you also have the option to go to Duty free and again you are better taking $ as everything will be priced in $ although you can use other currenct it will be at their exchange rate.
You can only take back into the UK 1 litre of spirits and 200 cigarettes it does not matter what you take from England to the UK but this is your limit back to the UK.
I hope that this is of some help to you

I`ll answer you for the case of Egyptian passport. I don`t know if it applies for other nationalities. If you fly to Cairo International Airport, you can buy some alcohol from the duty free and take it to Egypt under some conditions:
1- You had the entry stamp done during the last 24 hours.
2- You have a limit of around 4 bottles. What they do is check the passport and write strange symbols beside the entry stamp. These symbols show what alcohol did you buy, so that you can not buy again on the same entry.

Sharm el-Sheikh is the Sinai Peninsula's important tourism centre and among the world's prime fishing destinations and now you may get there your vacation with the help of that place hotelbye . Sharm el Sheikh is certainly one of Egypt's most readily useful places in the event that you would like to relax on the beach, and it's a chosen by family vacations as a result of exemplary services on offer. Whether you are here for the mud or the fish living, Sharm el-Sheikh is a good selection for a beach break following exploring the temples and tombs in the rest of the country. Also, fringed by a white mud beach and swaying hand woods, Naama Bay could be the epicentre of Sharm el-Sheikh's resort life. You will find abundant restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops if you receive bored of the sand, but Naama Bay is actually all about the beach.

Yes you can take it on the plane from another country, but I'm not sure about the amount. But if you wait till you arrive in Egypt you can go to the duty free in Cairo Airport and you will be entitled to 4 bottles.

Cairo could be the capital of Egypt and one of many biggest towns in Africa and the Middle East and a great place to go to; learn more with hotelbye . On the Nile river, Cairo is well-known for its history, maintained in the amazing medieval Islamic city and Coptic websites in Old Cairo. The Egyptian Museum in the center of community is vital see, with its countless Historical Egyptian artefacts because number visit to Cairo could be total without a trip to the Giza Pyramids, and to the nearby Saqqara Pyramid Complex. In Cairo you will see: The Pyramid of Cheops (also named the Great Pyramid or Pyramid of Khufu), the largest pyramid of the Giza group, and its interior of thin passages may be explored, though there is not much to see, except a plain tomb step having an bare sarcophagus. Right behind the Great Pyramid may be the Solar Ship Museum, which displays one of many ceremonial solar barques discovered in the region that's been painstakingly restored to its unique glory. More south on the plateau could be the Pyramid of Chephren (also called the Pyramid of Khefre), which includes an internal tube place that may be entered.

It depends on the drinking age of where you're coming from, and it also depends on which flight carrier you're choosing--around here, 3 oz is the limit. Also, you might want to make sure that alcohol is permitted--some may not even allow alcohol on flight.
