Taking consumer drone out of Egypt
Egypt prohibits consumer drones without authorisation, so there is no routine lawful personal export — devices are confiscated at the border.
Details
Egypt prohibits the possession and use of drones without a permit from the Ministry of Defence; unauthorised devices are confiscated and carriers prosecuted. Because possession itself requires authorisation that is rarely granted to private individuals, there is no routine personal-export pathway. Travellers transiting Egypt should not carry drones; devices found at departure screening are treated the same as at arrival.
