Fares in Mercato definitely works.
Fares in the Old City 2 weeks ago still worked for sure. I hope this hasn't changed
The starting price of "disposable" masks is $5-7.
Good ones start at $20 (if you search well) and up.
I recommend buying a mask in a large specialized store that sells equipment for divers: there will be a choice, respectively, you will have something to compare with - it’s easier to understand where the good one is))

All Fares work.
The minimum cost of the mask and from $ 7 (normal non-child size). Normal for example Tusa (Japanese firm) from 20.

What do you mean by normal?
This is Egypt. Looking where to take and how to bargain. You can spend money on a taxi or a minibus and go to the Old City to buy plastic for $20 (they will say that it is branded and original))))))). Or you can buy silicone on the street, which is 5 times better for $ 5.
Watch how you talk to them. I'll sit, I'll smoke a bowl with him for a dollar, supposedly the last dollar ... And then I'll drink tea, talk to him, smoke in the backyard of the store ... About life, about this and that ... He will take out a laptop and will show pictures my family... an hour, two... and for a fiver a mask will be for me and flippers as a gift)))) I love Egypt.

HizhukDeniz buy silicone for 5 on the street and persuade yourself that this is a fucking mask ... and no worse than the one for 20 Baku rubles .... - do you even understand masks? I guess they can sell something that costs 3 bucks for 20 .... - but a good mask, really good and cannot cost less than twenty for years! I am aware of bargaining, and smoking a hookah, talking about family and drinking tea, I also have a very good idea, but this particular seller will not have a good mask! Have you seen snorkelers in Shash who swim with masks that are fogged up, or with masks full of water - over the eyes ...?;) - that's 5 from the street ...;)

tkamencuk - buy a mask and snorkel at home, it won't be more expensive, and in home stores the choice is richer than in Shash - there are more diving masks in normal stores - are you interested in diving? If not, then go to a specialized store and they will pick up a mask for your face shape that will not leak, and it’s not a fact that in the first store you find you will find a mask that fits your face! my mask has deteriorated - my muzzle has grown ...))), I traveled 3 stores in the Dnieper until I found the right one. The snorkel is also a separate conversation, if you put yourself into the sea for five minutes, then you shouldn’t bother and you can buy a snorkel-mask in Shash for five Baku dollars and don’t fool around, if you mean swimming for a long and pleasant time, without trouble, buy yourself a snorkel mask for money at home, trying it on, coming to the store 3-4 times and asking for a decent discount! And by the way, I recommend a tube with a valve.

It's nice to read information from the pros ... I have a question, what should I do so that the mask does not fog up? They tried to spit in it, sometimes it helps ... I suspect that the one who drinks alcohol does not fog up the mask ... We bought a mask with a valve and a tube with a valve for 20 dollars, silicone, it still fogged up ... I would like to know the opinion of the experienced. ..

I don't care, of course, sometimes it helps)))
And on board the yachts for snorkelers there are buckets with "miracle water": I rinsed the mask there before the swim and it really does not fog up.
So in buckets - ordinary tap water with the addition of ordinary Fairy (dishwashing detergent).
Have a nice swim)))

maksimova41, you know, I always spit and it helped me))) but when I bought a mask, I always did as I was taught by spearfishers with great experience - I rubbed the glasses with toothpaste, waited for it to dry, wiped it all off and after that it’s fine with the glasses , but for the sake of prevention I always spit)), there are now masks where the glasses are coated on the inside with some kind of coating and they allegedly do not sweat - I assume that for this reason they are more expensive, but I have never had such a mask in my equipment and say nothing I can't about this. In the previous post, a colleague correctly wrote about the miracle water, it really helps, but I don’t use this method, I get by with the old-fashioned method;) And by the way, about the mask with the valve, from my point of view, this is completely unnecessary nonsense and I don’t see any practical sense in the valve on the mask, on the tube, yes, this makes sense and convenience, but on the mask an unnecessary notion! and from practical advice - make sure that your hair does not fall under the mask - in general, none should fall!

It is really better to buy a mask with a tube at home in specialized stores. The price is 20-50-... dollars.
If you wear glasses in life, it is better to insert glasses with diopters into the mask.
You must attach the mask to your face, take a breath - and the mask should remain on the face, as if glued.
Choosing the right snorkel mask is important.

I'm not a pro, but some observations have developed. This year we went to Egypt not only with masks, but also flippers. moreover, they bought them in our stores. so mine turned out to be nothing, and my husband had a factory marriage, they broke in three days. so advice about shopping may also turn out to be with the same result. and the purchase will have to be repeated already in Egypt. by the way, the quality of "made in egypt" is still better than the china we sell. and the masks that we bought in Dahab have been serving for more than one year. but this is my personal observation. By the way, we returned those fins to the store. took without problems. and the money was returned.
