of course, papyrus, various pyramids, buy in souvenir shops, but be sure to bargain, the price is immediately high, you can drop by 30 percent, and if you take a lot of different souvenirs, then for wholesale.

Anything: hookahs, oils, leather products (but not clothes), cotton products. It is better to buy in the city (and not in those places where they usually like to bring tourists during excursions). And don't forget to bargain

If you go to Sharm, it is better to buy in the Old Town, everything is much cheaper there.

Buying souvenirs in Egypt is a whole excursion, very interesting and exciting. If in Sharm, it is best to go to the Old Market. Buyers in Egyptian shops are treated like dear guests, you will be seated on a sofa, treated to hibiscus. In general, you can spend two hours in the shop if you have time. The seller can demonstrate and advertise his goods for a long time and colorfully. Arab merchants are very sociable and open people, they joke a lot and always smile.

Despite the fact that the Arabs are desperately toiling, I can’t say that they are greedy, this is more a tradition than a desire to make money on tourists. When the auction is over, they can give you a small gift as a bonus, such as a piece of papyrus with your name and date of birth in Arabic. A trifle, but nice. The more friendly you are, the more they will drop the price. For example, you can buy a good hookah for $7.

In addition to the Old Market, I also advise you to visit Nayama Bay (it seemed to me that it was here that the sellers were not so annoying) and Fantasia. In addition to the above, vases with multi-colored sand and tea are also interesting. The Arabs are trying to drag you into their store at any cost, even a simple request to write something in the visitor's book already predicts a tedious chatting to buy something

When you arrive in the old city or in Naama, you will immediately see there, there is a lot of everything !!! Eyes run wide. If you go on a motorcycle safari, immediately buy a headscarf.
Hookah, whatever you like.
Souvenirs. Wholesale (well, at least 2-3) is cheaper!!!
I bought a beautiful leather ottoman with an Arabic pattern.
Figurines, lamps, ponchos, vases, etc. etc.

if you buy several things in one store, ask for a gift. You can just buy everything in one store, then the discounts are normal and you can get a good gift.
hookah, papyrus, t-shirts, towels, oils, spices, hibiscus tea, coffee, magnets. only navels in the city (the hotel is expensive).

My personal advice - if Charm, then only the old market.
Naama Bay is more expensive, and already getting out of the taxi you are a new victim. Trade - yes. Divide by 2 initial
price.

You can bring a lot of souvenirs from Egypt, but it is better to postpone their purchase for the last two days. Just when you come to the market, you will want to buy both, and the third, and finances can come in handy during excursions or just walk around clubs and restaurants. When you come to the market, always bargain and everywhere.

You can buy a lot of cool things near the pyramids, but you have to bargain a lot !!!! Some of these things we have not seen anywhere else. For example, for $ 1 you could buy a set of 3 pyramids of different sizes and a sphinx. They say that it is from the same stone as the pyrimides. In principle, we don’t care, but as a souvenir it’s just super! We carried 10 sets of these pieces. Everyone was delighted, and most importantly, it was cheap!!!! This is all near the pyramids on the lower platform. In Sharm, the old market is cheaper, but you have to bargain everywhere!

You can buy a lot of everything. Papyrus, oil and hookahs are beyond competition. I really like their porcelain! We have already presented cups to all relatives, last time we decided to buy a large teapot. and separately only small ones. The price of the set at all auctions was prohibitively high. We combed all the nearby shops and you should have seen the joy of the Arab, who broke the sugar bowl from the set when we said that we only wanted

...teapot! As a result, we bought a teapot for the price of its lid alone, he just gave us a creamer, and then, before our departure, he greeted us by name when we passed by, and simply treated us to tea)))

Not sure if it's on topic, but maybe someone here knows. We came from Egypt, bought a candlestick there, and it crashed a week later. But I can’t remember what it’s called, maybe someone knows what it’s made of and is it really possible to buy one from us?

Souvenirs in Sharm El Sheikh are best bought in Naama Bay, cheaper than in the Old City, and the cheapest store is "Daria", prices are 2-3 times lower, you can go by blue minibus for $ 1 for 2 or write to the owner, he will send a car for you and take you back for free. My name is Misha. His viber is +201285625069
