Is transitting at Cairo (Egypt Air to Egypt Air) straight forward?

I think I don't need a transit Visa. Do I remain airside? Any "gotchas" I should be aware off? Assume same terminal...Would you choose a 6 hour or 2 hour transit? (all on same ticket). Thanks in advance.

Well I will answer my own Q ..it was so easy and quick...T3 to T3 for Egypt Air at Cai ..follow signs to TF connections...show BP and passport at entrance to an officer...directed up some narrow stairs (we took Lift as had lots of hànd luggage), and when we got up a level, another officer checked our BP and passport again, and we were in the Departure area...took 2 mins max with no security check! Will be more difficult and stressful if you have to change terminals.

Thanks for the update. We might have to do the same connection in a couple months if we cancel Israel and have to find another way to the ME. Egypt Air is one of the options.
