Is it worth buying mangoes and products at Mango Market in Sharm el-Sheikh?

Other opinions from late September 2026: Mango Market is fine and the price difference with Fix Price is tiny, so going to Fix Price only makes sense if you also want a walk around Naama Bay. Another participant was sceptical about buying cosmetics and goods at either Mango or Fix Price.

Be careful with soft mangoes: in September 2026 a shopper picked a soft, seemingly ripe mango in the Old Town herself, and it turned out completely black inside. This was a stall in the Old Town, not Mango Market.

How to choose mangoes for the trip home. In late August 2026 a traveler advised against rock-hard fruit, which ripens poorly, and suggested slightly underripe ones; his ripe yellow-red mangoes were excellent three days after purchase and a flight, with no leaking or spoilage. In September participants advised telling the seller the mangoes are for travel so they pick firmer ones, since very ripe fruit may not make it. Others noted the right variety depends on whether you eat them locally or take them home.

Another option mentioned in August 2026 is a bottle of frozen fresh mango or strawberry juice, sold at Fix Price or Mango Market.

On taking mangoes home, one participant said in July 2026 that unless you fly Azur Air or Belavia, a box of mangoes is almost always allowed on top of your carry-on in his experience. This is a personal estimate; check your own airline's carry-on allowance.

A practical tip from July 2026: rather than packing your own shampoo and conditioner, buy them at Mango Market on arrival and throw away the leftovers before you leave.

For items like dates and shampoo, a participant recommended Fix Price in July 2026, saying its prices are better than at Mango Market and Clooney. There is no shuttle, but according to him a taxi there is inexpensive.

In June 2026 a shopper bought two mangoes at Mango Market and was disappointed: she said they were terribly sour, sourer than lemons. Her conclusion was that such mangoes are not worth carrying home, as a regular supermarket back home sells tastier and cheaper ones. This is a review of one purchase.

In June 2026 tourists warned against one particular after-sun product sold at Mango Market: it turned their skin blue, and it took a lot of scrubbing with soap to wash off.
