Where to buy a snorkeling mask and fins in Hurghada and how much do they cost?

There is a row of shops selling masks near the hotel: walk about 100 m to the right from the hotel, turn left, and continue for roughly another 100 m.

Masks can also be checked for at the hotel’s on-site market and in the row of stalls by the neighboring Baron hotel.

One traveler bought a mask for about $20 near the hotel but noted that the same masks are available at Fix Price for roughly 4 times cheaper — they just didn't want to travel there at the start of the trip.

At the hotel, full-face masks start at $20, while separate mask-and-snorkel sets cost about $25–70.

Instead of buying fins, you can rent them at the diving center for about $3–5 per day.

Turn right after leaving the hotel gates toward the shopping center: the last shop in the row sells snorkeling masks among other items. Reportedly, prices there are about half those at shops near the point.

Snorkeling masks are available at souvenir bazaars near hotels, including Cleopatra Bazaar, Red Sea Bazaar, and Sokar, as well as in Bestway supermarket’s sports and children’s-goods section.

The hotel’s Bazar shop definitely sells masks, and bargaining may be possible.

The hotel doesn't offer an equipment rental service, but masks are likely sold in the small on-site hotel shops.

On diving excursions, a mask is usually provided for free, but it's unclear how well it's cleaned between uses — which is why some travelers still prefer bringing their own.

One tip: it's better to bring your own snorkeling mask from home rather than search for one locally, so you can start swimming right away upon arrival.

The hotel shop also sells masks (including separate mask/snorkel sets), but prices there tend to be higher than at the airport or even back home.

The Irina shop, across the road from the hotel and to the left, has a wide selection of masks from $10; coral shoes start at $3.

What to look for. In July 2026 a traveler was offered masks near his hotel for 8–20 dollars. A participant who replied considers full-face masks dangerous and puts a good mask at about 150–200 dollars. A separate mask, he advised, should fit the shape of your face, with a dark or colored skirt, and for a decent one go to dive shops, which have replicas at reasonable prices.

Try the mask on before buying, a participant advised in July 2026: it should be comfortable and not let air in; watching a couple of videos on choosing one before the trip helps. For people who have never swum with a mask and snorkel, the same participant advised against buying a snorkel straight away. In September beginners were told to start gradually, first in a pool: lower your chin with the snorkel into the water, breathe through it, and only then slowly put your face in with the mask.

The hotel's own supermarket quoted an inflated price for a kids' snorkeling mask — it's worth checking other nearby shops instead of relying only on the hotel outlet.

You can also go to Mango Market: in September 2026 travelers wrote that they had not brought masks and bought them there on their first evening; the drive from their hotel to the store took 5–7 minutes.
