Recent Review
After reading reviews here we thought we might be able to handle a night here but I was very very wrong. Our flight from Sharm landed at 11:30pm and our outbound flight departed at 7am the next day. Unless you are a chain smoker who prefers to stand all night, avoid overnighting in Terminal 1 at all costs. The free wifi works sporadically at best. It was insanely loud, the airport staff sit around and chain smoke, taking up a good portion of the seats. It was simply not possible to find a quiet place here. There was even a female worker sleeping on cardboard in the WC, I literally had to step over her to get into the stall. We arrived at Terminal 3 and the arrival hall there was much much nicer so if you can, stay there instead. But best to get a hotel. Final word, this airport is completely and utterly disgusting.
