Hello, I'm moving to Hurghada and can bring up to 8 suitcases as excess baggage, most will be clothes, shoes, bags but I want to include some framed pictures and ornaments to make my new apt home from home.
Is there any restrictions from local customs? I can imagine being pulled aside coming through with so many bags. What does everyone else do when they move permanently to Egypt?
Thanks

Gosh No!! Some artwork I got in Australia and some prints from Egypt that I got framed in UK and some candle holders really.
Just that some websites have conflicting information on personal effects
