Can you buy pork in Hurghada, and how is it usually sold in supermarkets?

Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago

TL;DR

Yes, pork is available in Hurghada, but because of local religious norms it is usually not displayed openly. In many shops and supermarkets, it is sold separately or kept behind curtains.

From the discussion, pork is not only for tourists: some local residents, including Copts, eat it as well, so it is a product you can realistically find in town.

If you do not see pork on display, that does not mean the shop does not carry it: in Hurghada it is often kept out of sight, so it is best to ask the staff directly.
