I paid 15euro a kilo in april in hurgarda if you can take your own or ship it to your hotel your onto a winner but £65 plus shipping for 20kgs usually is more expensive than paying what they want for it.

Just my experience

If you don't/can't carry it, then contact Aaron at Tekstreme in sharm. It's 11 euros/kg and he has plenty in stock at all times.
cheers!

I took 10kg in the normal molecular products tub to Hurgarda last week. Bloke at customs wanted to know what it was, was it liquid, did I live in Egypt etc. I just stood and smiled at him like an idiot until he lost interest. Best to put the tub at the back of the luggage cart so its not obvious.

Do some sums on extra baggage charges, how much you have paid for the lime and how much you plan to use before deciding if its worth it.
