Transit visa requirement for Nigerian
I am a Nigerian national, travelling back home to Lagos from New Delhi, with a 9 hour lay over in Sharjah and less than 2 hours layover in Cairo.
Would I require a transit visa if I don't plan on leaving the airport?

At Sharjah International Airport, remain airside:
If you are transferring from one flight to another, please check for your connecting flight at the ‘Transfer Desk’.Transfer and transit passengers SHOULD NOT go through the Arrival Immigration checkpoint.
Again, for your connection in Cairo, you're able to Transit Without Visa (TWOV):
