By T1 security, this “Convenience Shop” covers last‑minute gaps
This small Convenience Shop in Terminal T1 sits airside after security, handy if you skipped the landside kiosks. Stock changes a lot, but you usually see basic snacks, bottled water, soft drinks, and a few canned juices in the coolers. It’s a quick in‑and‑out stop, more like a corner kiosk than a supermarket.
Opening hours roughly track T1 departures, so it tends to be open from early morning outbound waves through late‑evening charter flights. Because it’s inside T1, you don’t need to exit and re‑clear security just to grab something simple before a flight to Cairo or Europe. Expect prices higher than city shops, with drinks and packaged items generally in the airport markup zone.
Stock usually leans on practical items: small packs of nuts or chips, chocolate bars, gum, and 0.5L or 1L water bottles. You may also find basic travel needs like tissues, lighters, and occasionally phone cables. Don’t count on full meals here; if you want hot food, plan to hit an actual restaurant in T1 before relying on this shop for anything more than a snack.
Payment typically works with both Egyptian pounds and common foreign cards, but terminals in T1 can be temperamental, especially on overnight flights after 22:00. Carry a bit of cash as backup. Tip: grab water and any last sweets for the plane here before heading to your gate, as options thin out fast once you walk deeper into T1.
