Shopping in Sharm El Sheikh

There are two types of shopping options in Sharm El Sheikh and visitors can enjoy each of them for the distinctly different opportunities which they present.

Shopping in Naama Bay

The first type of shopping is the kind of mall shopping which visitors frequently engage in during vacation. The other type of shopping for visitors to enjoy in the area is the traditional market shopping at the local bazaars or souks. This shopping takes places with local shopkeepers and is more than just a buying and spending experience.

Shopping in Sharm can satisfy the tastes of even the most spoilt visitors. Apart from offering the traditional shopping centers, boutiques and small shops catering to various tastes of people, Sharm is much more than that: it also offers oriental markets with their variety of souvenirs, oriental traditional clothes, spices and clothes. The best supermarket, The Metro, is a ten minute taxi ride away, in Nabq (in front of the Oriental Hotel). This is large and almost of a European standard, and you can buy local and imported produce, fresh and frozen. There is also a 24/7 supermarket at the Grand Azure hotel and a Carrefour in Naama Bay. All prices are fixed. Alcohol can only be purchased from special shops (ie Bacchus). There is one opposite the Metro at La Strada and there are plenty of these in Naama Bay.
