Can I take Adderall to Egypt?

According to Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population / Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA), Adderall may not be permitted in Egypt, even with a prescription. We have not been able to confirm this against a current national source, so do not travel with it until you have checked directly.

Some or all stimulants banned

Last checked 24 Jul 2026Medium confidenceHow we rate a record

A limit of our data: Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) and Dexamphetamine are different medicines. Adderall is a mix of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine; dexamfetamine is dextroamphetamine on its own, and international drug schedules list them as separate substances. We hold one combined amphetamine rule per country, so this page cannot tell you whether Egypt treats them differently. Give the authority the exact product and generic name on your prescription when you check. The answer here is the same as for Dexamphetamine in Egypt.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall's active ingredients) are listed under Egypt's Anti-Narcotic Law No. 182 of 1960 (Schedule 1) and cannot be carried by travelers even with a valid foreign prescription. This rests on Ministry of Health guidance whose government page no longer exists, and the schedules behind it were replaced by ministerial decree in February 2026. Treat it as a ban and confirm with the Egyptian embassy in writing before you travel.

What to do

  1. valid prescription
  2. doctor's letter/certificate
  3. prior permission/'no objection' clearance from Egypt's Ministry of Health
  4. medication in original packaging

Confirm this yourself: We could not verify this ban against a current national government source, so treat it as a ban until you have confirmed it. Ask Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population / Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) or Egypt's embassy in writing before you book, and keep their reply with your travel documents.
