In Egypt, e-cigarettes are allowed, and the legal vaping age is 18 years and older, aligning with the legal smoking age. Vaping products are legally imported, commercialsed and marketed. According to Mistervapeuk (@mistervape.co.uk), there are no legal restrictions on the type of e-cigarettes travelers can bring into the country. Although there are no legal restrictions on vaping in public places, it is recommended to observe social etiquette and avoid vaping in religious spaces.
Since Egypt's vaping regulations are relatively new and its market is still developing, it is recommended to bring enough vaping supplies to last for the entire trip. Also, travelers should check with their airlines regarding carrying vaping products in their luggage. As plug types in Egypt may differ from those in other countries, bringing a universal adapter is advised to charge e-cigarette batteries.
