The authorities of Marsa Alam airport require that passengers must be in the airport 3 hours before departure. Why? They will screen all your luggage just in the entrance looking for banned shells and pieces of coral. So it is better to leave them in the Red Sea. Once cleared you will be directed to the check-in stand. To Warsaw – only 23 passengers will be flying in the 130-seater boeing of Enter Air. Then you go to the passport control (fill up departure card before!) and to crowded waiting hall. There are souvenir shops to spend your last Egyptian pounds. but the shopkeepers accept also dollars and euro.
It is necessary to bargain!
We departed at 1.30 pm.
For the great views of the Red Sea take a right side window seat. Soon Sinai peninsula was visible and then – the Suez Canal – it is on the picture..
It was only 1 deg. Celsius when I landed in windy Warsaw. One more fantastic trip is over!
