Egypt legalized vaping in 2022, and half the internet still hasn't noticed. You can bring your vape, buy vape products in Egypt, and vape in designated smoking areas. Here's what you need to know.
Travel Advisory: This article provides general information about vaping-related laws in foreign jurisdictions. Laws, customs regulations, and enforcement practices change frequently and may differ from the information provided. Windbar does not provide legal advice. Before traveling with vaping products, verify current regulations with official government sources for your destination country. Windbar is not responsible for any legal consequences resulting from reliance on the information in this article.
What's legal: Import, sale, possession, and use of vaping products. The 2022 law created a legal framework for the vaping industry. Licensed shops sell devices and e-liquid. The legal age is 18.
Customs: There is no published customs limit for vaping products. The numbers you see online (two devices, 60ml of liquid) are made up — they don't appear in any Egyptian customs regulation. Bring a reasonable amount for personal use. A customs officer who sees 50 disposables in your bag is going to have questions.
Where to vape: The same rules as smoking apply. Hotels and resorts typically have designated smoking areas. Don't assume your room is one of them — many hotels treat vaping the same as smoking for room-cleaning fees, and the vapor from a sub-ohm tank can trigger optical smoke detectors just like real smoke. Never cover, disable, or tamper with a smoke detector to get around this — it's a genuine fire-safety hazard, it can violate the hotel's fire code, and it can leave you liable if it delays a real alarm. If you want to vape indoors, ask the front desk whether the room is designated for it before you check in.
The one thing that could ruin your trip: bringing CBD or THC products. Egypt has zero tolerance for cannabis. A CBD vape cartridge that's legal in the UK will get you arrested. Leave it at home.
