In September 2026 travelers looked for tanning oil in Hurghada at Gomla, Bestway and pharmacies. In spring it was bought at Gomla for EGP 589; Bestway always stocks it but charges more, and a pharmacy asked the same EGP 1,300 as Bestway, while a different brand was available there for EGP 700. Another participant thought Gomla might sell oil by the litre for about EGP 500, but was not sure.

In September 2026 a shopper said a Hurghada pharmacy had a large range of this brand's oils, but the one she wanted cost about EGP 1,300, the same as at Bestway. She ended up buying another brand for EGP 700, although in her view it gives a bronze tan she likes less than the one from Luna oil.
