What to bring?
Tell me what are you bringing? I know: hibiscus tea, textile bedding, magnet plates, papyrus, handicraft beads bracelets. Maybe something else? Thanks.

spices and cartouches (a cartouche is a silver or gold elongated medallion with your name written in an ancient language - hieroglyphs). still very often ask about the hookah. and of course coral beads, etc. people often ask about coffee with cardamom, it has a pronounced oriental taste. where it is cheaper to buy depends on where you are going.

By the way, if you want to buy a hookah, look at the prices for it in Russia. It is not easy to carry it, you will worry if it has been broken, and it is heavy. It will be a shame if you pay more than at home. With me, girls from Kyiv brought down the price for 40 minutes, so that it was cheaper than in Kyiv. True, they also received silver rings as a gift.

Thank you. Hookah is not interested. Spice brought the sea from the UAE. I love coffee with cardamom and I drink cardamom again from the UAE. Here the cartouche interested me very much!!! Is he everywhere? And very interested in coral products !!! In Hurghada in the shops to buy it or in Cleopatra?

There are no good quality things there, shoes too. The only clothes I buy are T-shirts, pareos, and beach skirts / sundresses can be seen. There are cartouches in all jewelry stores, first take a look at the work, if you like it, order it and they will do it with your name, I don’t remember the price, my daughter wanted to buy for a long time, but bargain anyway. Beads in the same shops at the Sheraton.

You know, for the 5th time I was in Sharm, I brought for the first time a cool fashionable bag for this season for $ 50, 3 pairs of original slippers of various colors and 2 table lamps (the husband is delighted with them). So take a closer look. Yes, but my friend was carrying 7! kg of cool, delicious mangoes. That's it. :)

There are branded things there and of good quality, they are sold in special boutiques in the Senzo Mall shopping center, but the prices! But I didn’t buy anything, everything is cheaper here in Germany.
Here are the lamps and lamps - yes, I also noticed that they were (2010) with a not bad design.

Are you talking about bags? Indeed, the quality is not the highest, but not the worst, and the price is almost a penny. I was especially impressed by bags made of thick camel leather, they look very unusual (I didn’t buy it, because I didn’t have the right color-size combination, then I regretted a little that I didn’t take what I had).

In general, this potato is tasteless (we have). In the Emirates, the first thing I pounce on is the Australian mango, big, juicy, I think it will also be delicious in Egypt! I also pounce on hummus like from a hungry land. I will eat!!!

Alpusechka, Fruits are being brought, now the peaches are delicious, tourists are also taking them home, you have already been written about cartouches, there are a lot of them, just don’t buy in the first shop, take a closer look because they are of different quality, many are carrying different figurines such as a giraffe, a camel , my aunt bought a big dog here and took it, now it stands on the floor and when you enter the house as if alive :), the bags here are not bad, there is a store with leather bags in the old town + a Turkish shopping center where there are bags and leather and furs and textiles. In general, there is something to buy here and take away :)

Irina Sharm, thank you!!! I will definitely buy a bag! I have such a habit: I buy a bag, I throw the one with which I arrived in the trash can in the room, and conscientious cleaners come running with it to the reception desk when I rent a room !!! It was in the UAE, Turkey is!

Bags, wallets, gloves MUST be changed as often as possible. There will be more money.

Yes, they say so. Yes, and I personally get bored with such things if they are not changed. Especially the gloves - I keep losing one!!! Here and volens-nevolens account for.

By the way, there was already a discussion about coral products here: http://www.turpravda.ua/eg/hurgada/question-24159.html
Regarding the cartouches, I would advise you to look at the quality of things in the shops, there were cases when the hieroglyphs then fell off the cartouche. So, as for me, I would overpay a little, but then I would wear it calmly.
As for textiles, I liked the towels most of all, but they were not in every shop of good quality.
