Mango season runs roughly from September to October. For clearer, fixed prices, a fixed-price shop in Naama Bay was recommended; one traveler also reported carrying 14 kg of mangoes for two people in hand luggage without being stopped.

Another recent price reference: large mangoes were $2 per kg, while small, very sweet ones were $5 per kg. Bargaining on the smaller mangoes produced only a $1 discount, so negotiations may not always lower the price much.

Based on market shopping experience in Sharm El Sheikh, bargaining is often expected. One traveler recommended negotiating hard, especially for mangoes and souvenirs, and if the final price already feels fair, asking for a small free extra item; for example, a family received a child’s baseball cap with a hat purchase.
