Best places to shop in Hurghada — souvenirs, markets, malls

The nearby 3 Pyramids shop has good fixed prices. It is on a quieter street than Sheraton Street, though the area is still suitable for a walk.

Mango Market accepts US dollars. It also offers a free round-trip shuttle, and travelers report lower prices than in shops near the hotels.

There is a Gomla supermarket near the Marina, a local store with very low prices and a broad selection. It is convenient to combine a visit with a walk around the Marina.

For sweets, Zahraa is recommended: one branch is in the Central area on Sheraton Street, and another is about 300 m from Hurghada City Centre toward the hotel area.

Another option near the hotel: across the road and a bit to the left is a small green shop that sells cold Stella and Heineken beer from the fridge. An ATM is a bit further to the left.

In fixed-price shops there's no need to bargain. Across the road from the hotel there's another shop called ATEN, which also sells dates.

On the hotel side, a short walk right from the old reception, there's a two-floor shop: groceries downstairs, and upstairs clothing, masks, corals, flippers and souvenirs — inexpensive. Prices are in Egyptian pounds but dollars are accepted too. For fruits, dates, chocolate and halva, Gomla is recommended, but it's said to be weaker for clothing/masks.

At the nearby Hurghada City Centre mall you can buy fruits, sweets, dates and Dubai chocolate to take home; payment in Egyptian pounds, with ATMs and currency exchange nearby.

Besides hotel-area shops and stores in the neighboring Baron area, there are separate stores called Mango Market and George Clooney with free shuttle transfer; prices there are lower than at hotel shops.

In the Hurghada City Centre mall (to the right from the hotel), at the very end of the first floor there is a Carrefour; payment by Union Pay card or Egyptian pounds cash. About 20 minutes on foot, or about 5 minutes by minibus (5 EGP fare).

As a regular grocery option, Spinneys is also recommended, and there is a grocery store in the Hurghada City Centre mall too, in case it's closer to your hotel.

For those staying in the far north of Hurghada, there is a nearby Bestway supermarket where you can buy sweets, fruits and similar items to take home.

On the main tourist street not far from the Marina, there are many souvenir shops; some have fixed prices while others do not display tags. A larger store mentioned there is Sokar, which has a wide range of goods.

It is cheaper in the back streets than on the main tourist street. In July 2026 participants wrote that on Sheraton Street and the lanes around it you pay noticeably less with some bargaining than in tourist-oriented spots. In October someone added a concrete pointer: walk the street to the end where the Metro store is and come out onto the long Madaras street, parallel to Sheraton — it is full of mini-markets, fruit stalls and juice bars, with prices no longer aimed at tourists.

At Senzo Mall, near the entrance by Spinneys, there is a dedicated large luggage section; payment there is taken in Egyptian pounds at the cashier.

Participants mention the Metro supermarket but do not recommend a special trip: in July 2026 one traveler wrote the trip was a waste — high prices and nothing interesting — and another participant also called its prices far from friendly.

A traveler who toured several shops in July 2026 liked All In next to George Clooney best: tea, dates and other local products were cheapest there, and the second floor has souvenirs, bags, snorkel masks and suitcases. She called George Clooney a decent option too, but with higher prices. The market near her hotel, she said, was heavily overpriced, and she skipped Mango Market and Fix Price because they were far and All In had the same goods.

Besides the pharmacy, Senzo Mall also has a grocery store that sells souvenirs; according to travelers, payment there is in Egyptian pounds. Prices are a bit lower than in small souvenir shops, though the difference is not large.

At Cleopatra shopping center, travelers suggest checking the second or third row from the left for souvenir stalls: small souvenirs can start at about 160 EGP there. There is also a grocery shop nearby with sweets and snacks.

A local shop across the road from the hotel is noted for good prices and Egyptian-pound-only payment; as a grocery price reference, mangoes were seen there at 55 EGP per kg.

Gomla supermarkets are considered one of the best-value places for groceries in Hurghada: they are regular local supermarkets with reasonable prices. One important detail is that many branches accept payment only in Egyptian pounds. There are several Gomla stores in the city, so it makes sense to look up the branch closest to your hotel.

Near Old Seagull, travelers recommend Cleopatra Bazar, a large four-floor fixed-price shop. Directions: cross the road by Old Seagull and walk left for about 5 minutes.

It is generally better to pay in Egyptian pounds when shopping, and some stores do not accept any other currency at all.

Be careful with shopping stops on tours. In June 2026 a traveler said that on a free city tour of Hurghada from her tour operator they were taken for long stops at oil and souvenir shops with very high prices: date sweets that cost 100 pounds in a regular shop were sold there for 350. Other participants also warned that guides take tourists to expensive tourist-oriented shops.
