Where to buy sunscreen and basic pharmacy items in Egypt (resort towns)?

The pharmacy at the 'Oasis' hotel area has a decent selection; staff there recommended a local (not internationally known) sunscreen brand that worked well, bought it more than once.

If the nearest pharmacy has a limited selection, try a local shop or pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for a recommendation — they'll usually suggest an affordable local brand.

Sunscreen and after-sun cream prices at the pharmacy closest to the hotel were nearly twice as high as at a pharmacy a bit farther away — worth checking a couple of locations before buying.

Local pharmacies mainly stock sun protection products; you can also find common medications there, like antihistamine tablets (e.g. Zyrtec).

If you need a specific premium brand of sunscreen or medication not stocked locally, you may need to travel to a bigger pharmacy or store in another area.
