Our notes on Nile Air
Nile Air publishes cabin baggage as a weight, not a size. Its route table gives one handbag allowance on every route, with one exception: flights between Hurghada and Germany allow less. Pack to the weight first, and keep the bag a size that fits an overhead locker.
The handbag limit is the same in both cabins on the route table, while the FAQ gives Business Class a higher carry-on weight than Economy. If you fly Business, check the allowance on your ticket.
Extra baggage can be bought at the airport or through Nile Air sales offices. Liquids in the cabin follow the usual rule of containers up to 100 ml in one transparent resealable bag.
Flying from Abha, local products such as honey and ghee are accepted as checked baggage and tagged, not in the cabin.
