I don’t advise anything except for FRUITS, there are no good things. Yes, and if you see something they still have it imported. The quality that is sold in Sharm is terrible.

Well, what can you buy in Egypt, these are cotton products, it is of high quality there and you can bargain for a penny ... I constantly bring towels and bedding. it is not natural, an alloy from different metals that will soon darken

Don't go for the cheap price. I bought T-shirts as a gift with different pictures, the cotton is good, the pictures also hold tight even after washing, but they were sewn very poorly. And I also bought slippers, I’m also very satisfied with the shoes. But they chose interesting bags. Satisfied and wear well. But a lot of trash is cheap and of poor quality. Especially wallets, jewelry and "gold". The cotton trousers were ripped apart at the seams. It is better to buy in Cairo, everything is cheaper. Especially oils and jewelry.

And I highly do not recommend buying different teas, spices and the rest of the rubbish that you will be "cheap" offered with a smile and pleasure. We brought a lot of all sorts of souvenirs to the office and a month later everything ended up in the trash. A lot of all sorts of crafts and not for our taste tea, seasonings. What I liked and used was oils, papyri (especially dark ones), pencil cases for children. Look at the quality and think why I need it.

You can buy fragrant essences. True, they sell a lot of diluted ones. It’s also quite interesting, in many stores they can embroider any inscription in Arabic on a T-shirt or towel.

in charm, a new shopping district was recently built, it is called Elmercato and is located in the Hadaba area (it's not far from the Old Market), and so on these two shopping streets there are Adidas, Nike branded stores, etc.. The things there are imported and quality good, just bargaining is useless, prices are fixed, but the quality is very good. good.

Everything there is of very poor quality, except for the oils. Or national clothes, if someone is engaged in Arabic dances.

Most of the things are made in china, we bought very beautiful towels, but with a wonderful effect, when you wipe them off, it stays dry and you get wet.

super. It really is. Water repellent towels are great. I think that shopping tours have nothing to do with some cities. Charm is rest, fruits, sea, kalyuyan, disco. But not shopping.

Hookah and tobacco for it, it is much more expensive here, and the quality leaves much to be desired. And of course fruits!

When buying oils or perfumes, be also careful. We were brought to a state store where oils and perfumes were sold, when they showed us everything was super and smelled great. But when I bought it, everything was packed so that everything would be delivered well, but when I arrived home and opened a bottle of perfume, it turned out that they were really diluted and not the same as they give for testing in the store. It was in Hurghada, where they said it was the only state store for perfumes and oils. So be careful and check everything

And I love buying coffee in Egypt. This coffee is very finely ground and with cardamom. Very invigorating. However, it is difficult to find.

Hookah, definitely, I liked the seasonings, fruits, take especially those for which we are not in season now, perfume oils (!!!), but not in Kamre, but in the old market (10 dollars 50 ml).

Yes, in Egypt you can not trust even the guides. In the so-called. in the Bedouin village they traded amulets, supposedly from carnelian or other precious stones. At the same time, it is clearly visible that this is glaze, and not a stone at all. And the guides all unanimously claimed that this is a real stone. At a stone factory near Luxor, they can also slip you a well-made plastic figurine (moreover, the plastic is self-extinguishing and non-combustible, also no worse than stone in density, well polished) and say that it is jade
