TL;DR
Based on traveler reports, at Sharm El Sheikh Airport you may need to collect lost or misrouted luggage in person using your baggage tag. Travelers say airport staff may not offer WorldTracer follow-up or baggage delivery to your hotel or another city.
A recent traveler warning says that if your baggage issue forces you to leave the airport area, getting back in may depend on staff discretion. One traveler reported missing a flight at Sharm El Sheikh Airport because of this kind of situation.
Another recent comment says that any workaround involving going outside the airport gates is not practical for all travelers, especially those already handling suitcases. The practical takeaway is to confirm the exact baggage handover process inside the airport first.
A traveler who recovered a suitcase in Sharm said it was handed over without problems using the baggage tag, but only in person. According to airport staff, there was effectively no WorldTracer service there, no onward shipment of bags, and forgotten, lost, or misrouted luggage had to be collected by the traveler.
