No, it is not legal to fly drones in Egypt’s tourist areas without special authorization. Drones are strictly regulated by the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority, and permits are rarely granted to foreign visitors or tourists. If you bring a drone, it is likely to be confiscated at the airport and held until you leave. Severe penalties (fines, jail) apply for unauthorized use in public, sensitive, or military areas. Only media companies with proper paperwork may obtain permission to operate drones for commercial projects. Always check with Egyptian authorities before traveling with a drone.
