By T3 security at Cairo, Relay is your grab-and-go newsstand
In Terminal 3 at Cairo International Airport, Relay fills the standard airport newsstand role: magazines, snacks, drinks, and last‑minute travel bits. You’ll spot the familiar blue Relay branding shortly after passport control in T3, on the airside side of security, so you don’t need to backtrack landside for basics.
Stock skews toward international and Arabic-language magazines, plus paperbacks and some children’s titles, which helps on a 4–5 hour regional flight out of T3. Expect prices a notch above central Cairo supermarkets, especially on bottled water and branded chocolate, but still normal by airport standards.
Relay in T3 also carries practical items like USB charging cables, basic headphones, power adapters that work with Egypt’s 220V sockets, and small toiletries under the 100 ml liquid limit. That’s useful if your airline out of Terminal 3, like Egyptair or a Star Alliance carrier, didn’t hand out amenity kits on your previous leg.
Food-wise, you’ll see packaged sandwiches, chips, and candy bars rather than fresh meals, so use this for a backup snack rather than dinner before an 8+ hour overnight. Drinks run from 500 ml water bottles to canned sodas and a limited range of juices, all sold as individual items rather than multi-packs.
Quick tip: if your T3 gate is at the far end of the concourse, stop at Relay soon after security instead of gambling on smaller kiosks closer to the gates, which sometimes close early on late‑night departures.
