TL;DR
Mango is available in Sharm el-Sheikh at places like Mango Market for around $1/kg, but quality can be disappointing — some travelers find it very sour. You can take it home, but customs may weigh it on arrival.
What the community said
Mango purchased recently at Mango Market was extremely sour — reportedly even more acidic than lemons. Not recommended if you expect sweet tropical fruit.

When taking mango out of Egypt: Sharm el-Sheikh airport did not check the fruit, but customs on arrival in Belarus asked about fruits and weighed them. Check your home country's import rules before buying.
