TL;DR
Skip the oils sold on standard group excursions — they're often overpriced fakes. A trusted shop is Perfum and Oils (Maa Althahab) near the Sheraton hotel, next to Karkusha restaurant. Oil shops can also be found in Senzo Mall, Hurghada City Centre mall, and along the promenade near Sheraton/Sherry.
