TL;DR
For alcohol near the hotel, in August 2026 participants recommended Roma, a café that also sells alcohol about a five-minute walk away, with a wide selection and low prices; in summer a small shop called Aten nearby was also praised. When asked about a fixed-price store, participants pointed to the Gomla supermarket, which gets mixed reviews. Larger options nearby include the Hurghada City Center mall with a Carrefour supermarket, and Mango Market with a free evening transfer.
The nearest option with a wide selection and the lowest prices, according to a participant in late August 2026, is Roma, about a five-minute walk from the hotel. It is not a shop but a café that sells alcohol. In late September guests asked whether Roma would be open by 20 October, as a possible renovation had been mentioned, so check before you go.
About the Karkusha shop on Sheraton Road (on maps, near McDonald's), in August 2026 a guest wrote that it is essentially a second-hand shop. Another participant replied that it is rarely recommended and is no longer what it was 15–20 years ago.
Guests went to Mango Market by shuttle: in July 2026 they wrote that a transfer is available, and in mid-August someone invited others to join a free transfer at 20:00. Check the departure time in advance.
If you need a mall, in July 2026 participants suggested starting with Hurghada City Center — nearby, according to one of them, with a Carrefour supermarket inside. On the ground floor, closer to the supermarket on the left side, a perfume shop was praised. For the nearest El Ezaby pharmacy they suggested checking Google Maps, and for bags — if the mall has nothing — Sheraton Road.
Another option that participants in July 2026 said was worth the walk is Aten, a small shop near the hotel: a wide selection, and they can mix a drink to your taste. The sellers speak neither English nor Russian, so a translation app on your phone helps. Landmarks guests described: an Aten sign on the side of the building, with a kiosk and two soft-drink fridges below it.
On Sheraton Road guests also mentioned the Orphamides liquor store: in July 2026 someone asked whether it was worth shopping there. Roma and Aten are described in more detail in the discussion — with distance from the hotel, selection and landmarks.
Guests asked about a fixed-price store several times in summer and September 2026. One traveler wrote that she had seen such stores in Sharm el-Sheikh, while here the alternative is Gomla — a supermarket (one branch is in the Al Kawthar area). Opinions differ: in August one guest called Gomla an unpleasant shop, while another said it is a normal store with a good range and prices; a third suggested simply going to a supermarket such as Spinneys or Gomla.
