TL;DR
Mango Market is within walking distance, and after 2 pm the store sends a shuttle that you book by phone (a local SIM is needed), Telegram or WhatsApp; in October 2026 participants confirmed it is free both ways. In summer 2026 pharmacies in Naama Bay and the Old Town gave shoppers a free ride for purchases of at least 30 US dollars. A pharmacy inside the hotel is handy for small items but, per an August 2026 report, costs about 30 Egyptian pounds more per item.
Mango Market can be reached on foot if you prefer choosing products in person. After 2 pm, it also runs a shuttle that can be arranged by phone, Telegram, or WhatsApp; calling requires a local SIM card.
In October 2026, asked whether a shop can really pick you up, take you to its store and back on condition that you buy something, a participant replied that Mango Market has a Telegram chat with its number for booking the shuttle, and the shuttle is free both ways.
Some pharmacies in Naama Bay can arrange a car for purchases from US$30: it picks you up, takes you to the pharmacy, and normally brings you back. You can skip the return ride if you want to walk around central Naama Bay afterward.
One option for a free transfer is to a pharmacy in the Old Town area near the mosque: with a purchase of $30 or more, they drive you there, let you walk around nearby, and bring you back.
According to participants in August 2026, a Russian-speaking pharmacy gives you a number to book a shuttle and picks you up itself if you spend at least 30 US dollars. Shuttles are also offered by the Darya shopping centre and by Kluni — one participant always uses them because walking in the heat is hard.
Darya shopping centre has a pharmacy with a wide selection, along with beach items such as coral shoes and snorkelling masks. A shopper transfer is available there as well.
The pharmacy on the hotel grounds stocks everything, but prices are about 30 Egyptian pounds higher per item; it's fine for small purchases, but across the road from the hotel the same items are cheaper by that difference, with the price printed directly on the package.
Visiting in person beats ordering online, according to a shopper writing in August 2026: sometimes an item is out of stock, and in the shop staff can offer a substitute or order it for the next day, whereas an online order simply arrives without the missing item. She also knew that orders over 30 US dollars come with a shuttle. In September 2026 another traveler had heard that the shuttle takes you to just one store and the promised range is not always there, so it is worth checking your shopping list in advance.
