What the community said
Local sunscreen turned out more effective and cheaper than brands brought from home — go for SPF 50, otherwise you can still get sunburned.

Egyptian mango in season is cheap and tastes better than at home — many travelers bring it back as a gift for family, even if they've already had plenty during the trip.

Halva is bought by the suitcase in Hurghada — the variety and quality aren't available back home, making it a top shopping priority.

Some medicines are cheaper or easier to buy in Egypt than to find equivalents at home — worth bringing a list of needed drugs.

Dates, on the other hand, are usually skipped — they're easier to find at home and don't make the typical shopping list.
