Post-security electronics stop in Terminal 3
HS Store sits airside in Cairo Airport Terminal 3, handy if you’ve cleared security and realize your cable or adapter is still at home. Stock skews to last‑minute tech: phone chargers, earbuds, power banks, and small accessories that fit in a personal item. Expect airport pricing rather than downtown Cairo deals, but it beats landing in Europe with a dead phone and no Type C cable.
Terminal 3 handles EgyptAir and many Star Alliance departures, so HS Store mainly serves long-haul passengers who still have 30–40 minutes before boarding and don’t want to hunt around Terminal 1 or 2. Shelves usually carry multiple plug types for EU and UK sockets, which saves a scramble if you’re connecting onward. Payment is straightforward: cards generally accepted alongside Egyptian pounds, and staff are used to quick turnarounds from people hovering near the till with a boarding pass in hand.
There’s no published opening time, but shops in CAI Terminal 3 typically track the flight banks, so HS Store is most reliably open during late-night EgyptAir waves around 23:00–03:00 and daytime European departures from roughly 08:00–14:00. Don’t expect deep gadget inventory or big-name laptops; think small, packable accessories and a few phone cases. Tip: check prices on a second item like a power bank before adding it—markups on extras can jump compared with the basic charging cable you came in for.
