lamina, everything is correct))
I want to add that most banks in Sharm are open from 08:00-9:00 in the morning until 14:00. After lunch, money can be exchanged at exchange offices (open until midnight). If the amount is significant, then I recommend driving to the Old Town or Naama Bay. Here you can find a higher rate instead of the official 7.9. The day before yesterday they changed it at 8.5. True, such a favorable rate was when exchanging a really large amount. But still - by bargaining with an exchanger employee, you can achieve an increase in the rate even for an amount of several hundred dollars.
The bank usually uses only the official exchange rate.

There is no exchanger at the gas station, in the mall or in the shops at the gas station you will be happy to change dollars.
Should the question be changed? Everything can be paid for in dollars. An exemplary course has already been announced to you,
Approximately equal distance to the mercato (you can just walk there with fountains and take pictures in the amphitheater) or the old city (there are a lot of exchangers)

Excuse me, but what is a mall? As for the exchange, we had such an opinion that it was more profitable to pay in pounds. What do you think? By the way, how long does it take to get to the old town? I also read that there is a kind of minibus

Mall is a store. Better in pounds. For two dollars you can get one way by taxi. It used to be that way. It was like that back in May. If the taxi driver is normal, for five dollars he will bring the whole company in one direction, wait for you and take you back to the hotel. It's better than the bus. Calculation at the end of the road. Buy ishta in the old town. Fantastic fruit. Wash, break and scoop out the inner pulp with a spoon. Tastes like strawberries with kiwi. You will not regret. Nothing else compares :)

There are minibuses. 1.5 pounds maximum per person and you are in the old town, you need to sit down near the gas station)))) The most profitable transport option for you.
Mall is the English word literally means shopping center. Near your hotel it is called DAHAB, it is very close to your hotel.
I don't know about benefits. Everything needs to be valued and bargained. Never buy anything right away, say that you look closely.
By the way, in the old town (and by the way, next to the gas station at your hotel) there is a store 247. There prices are fixed. The choice is certainly richer in the old town. There is a Ragab Sanz shop on the way to the old town, there is an even larger selection of products. Why am I saying everything. And for food souvenirs: halva, hibiscus, nougat, coffee with cardamom, etc.

Ashtu if you take only soft, now it comes across green (hard). It will lie down for a week, it will ripen, but I want to eat right away)))
Now it’s even better on a minibus, there is no such flow of tourists and locals. Often I go on a minibus to the old city almost alone.

I read the comments, and it already seems that I have been there)) thanks for the detailed recommendations. And we love all sorts of local sweets, but we don’t really bargain, so we appreciate shops with fixed prices) Last time we bought thoroughly in the old city, but it was a hassle, and they divorced a little, well, without it, probably nothing))

Oh, another nuance. In grocery stores, it is most profitable (and sometimes only possible) to pay in local currency. A bank card is also beneficial, provided that it is a master card or a visa.

Change where you like. And depending on how much. Might not be worth going anywhere. Time + taxi fare ... Maybe it's easier to change at the reception. I changed today at 8 in naama. Sometimes I change with gestrelation at 7.5. not to go anywhere. The local staff will probably have 6-7 each))) It's up to you.
