Where to buy fruit, snacks, souvenirs and medicine near hotels in Hurghada?

From messages by 3 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 10 days ago

TL;DR

For fruit, sweets and small purchases, travelers suggest heading out of the hotel into town: in October 2026 they mentioned fruit stalls by the Metro supermarket, and the Kausar district, with fruit, sweets and pharmacies away from tourist crowds, is within walking distance. In July 2026 a large mall with a DeFacto store and a supermarket that sells mangoes, among other things, was recommended; prices there are in Egyptian pounds.

What the community said

For one hotel, a participant described the route in October 2026: the Metro supermarket is opposite the hotel, with fruit stalls on the street next to it, and if you walk right on the hotel's side to the roundabout and turn right again, you reach the Gomla market. Everything is close by, they said.

In late September 2026 a traveler said they simply walked around the shops near their hotel in the evening. She mentioned the 'Karkusha' shop near the Sheraton: it used to have decent things, but now, in her view, that is doubtful. She considers a guided shopping excursion a waste of time and money.

There is a large promenade in front of the hotel. For fruit and sweet shops, go left through the fountain square; the scenic waterfront is further along.

For those who like walking outside the hotel, a good stretch of the Mamsha promenade in both directions was recommended in July 2026. According to the participant, the Kausar district is a short walk away for fruit, sweets and pharmacies, without the tourist crowds.
