As for the pricing policy, I will not say. Let me tell you about alcohol. If anyone does not know, Egypt is mostly a Muslim country. Selling alcohol at every step is prevented not only by Sharia law, but also by very real laws, according to which it is very easy to get yourself a term from quite decent to life. Especially if you are a foreigner.
If you want to get drunk, why go so far?

I was in February of this year in Hurghada. At the same time, literally to the day, acquaintances were in Sharm. Upon arrival, we discussed prices for strawberries, shrimp, etc. (except for alcohol), in Sharm it was noticeably more expensive.

Was in Sharm and Hurghada. If you do not take into account the "shops" near hotels or on the territory of hotels, IMHO it is always more expensive to buy there. And for example, take the Old Market in Sharm and Sheraton Street in Hurghada for comparison, I didn’t notice a big difference in the price of goods, everything is almost the same, the only thing worth paying attention to is the seasonality of fruits, for example, mango in season costs a dollar with a penny (about 20 pounds), and in the off-season, about 4-5 bucks (from 80 pounds and above) per kilo. It’s better to bring alcohol with you, it’s cheaper here and you can choose what you like, since at the customs they turn a blind eye to the transport of alcohol, which can’t be said about cigarettes, if you import dofiga, you can stop. If you didn’t take care of your personal supply of alcoholic drinks, then it doesn’t matter either that in Sharm, that there are duty free shops in Hurghada, and you can easily buy alcohol there, provided that you have 1-2 days after arrival, plus you need a passport, they do a mark about the purchase, and be careful near the store, locals hang out there and ask them to buy "liquor".

I don’t know, I didn’t notice a big difference. We didn’t buy souvenirs, we bought this stuff on the first trip, like oils and co. I compare the prices of fruits, T-shirts, towels, and seafood in Hurghada, the fish market is cheaper, I agree with this. A taxi in Hurghada for 3-4 km gave a dollar, that in Sharm, in Sharm the only nose was twisted, but a competitor was waiting for him, so I 100% left on the third car. Yes, and I don’t bargain with dealers for a long time already, comparing with the first trips, when such prices soared, and we bought and thought that we won, now the approach is this - I name the price for which I will buy (I orient myself +/ -), he tries to put pressure on fellow countryman-wives-children-etc. well, maybe 5-10 pounds more expensive than my price gives.
