~ Old Sharm ~: ~ Lots of bargains ~
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: ~ Old Sharm ~

    We were recommended by our holiday rep to go to Old Sharm for the day as the shopping was supposed to be really good and this is where you can get all your bargains. It only cost us 20 Egyptian Pounds from our hotel in Sharm el Sheikh to Old Sharm.
    It was a good day out but i did get abit fed up with the hassle to go into the shops from all the shop keepers after a couple of hours of it. It is still a nice day out and dont be scared of them just say hello and carry on shopping, you will be fine. Also i would advise ladies to dress sensibly to avoid excessive attention from the locals.

    What To Buy: You enter the souk area through a huge archway over the road. There are hundreds of shops and stalls to look at but i admit that once you've walked past about five or six stalls then you've seen it all, it tends to repeat after that.

    There are lots of different stalls selling the usual sovenirs from the stuffed camel, to a fridge magnet, shisha pipe and postcards which are all alot cheaper than in Naama Bay, you can also buy spices, shisha pipes, gold, carpets, lanterns, antiques, jewellery, Egyptian cotton clothing, belly dancing costumes, fruit and vegetables, local produce and there are lots of restaurants and cafes for you to enjoy a nice ice cold drink or coffee or something to eat.

    What To Pay: Anything, there are no set prices so use your haggling skills. The locals expect it so no need to feel cheeky just go for it!
