hey.. due to small change in personal life I am leaving UK and I m moving to Egypt. The things is that I dont know how to organise transfer of all my belongings (i m not talking furniture- more clothes and personal items). I can carry only one luggage and thats not enough. Any ideas? Has anyone done it, what is the cost?

I will be grateful for all your help!

Magdaw, youa ae most welcome to Egypt, You will like it, and we are happy because you will come soon

Well, concerning the luggage fees, it depends on the airlines and their fees, but usually most of the airlines offers one free luggage and carry on bag, but you need to confirm that with them

Concerning the transfer of your belonging, the airlines here in Egypt offers to transfer the luggage for the foreigners, so they will be able tp transfer ur luggage to ur home or to the hotel that you are going to live in

Depending on Airline ticket free bag's weight avilable.
May be personnel daily used more important.
It is not easy to miss any thing needed for home or food as you know in Egypt..
If specific assistance required, reach us.
Have a good trip. Hope a nice step and welcome again.
