TL;DR
According to travelers in summer 2026, Mango Market in Sharm El Sheikh is the better buy for water shoes (25 Egyptian pounds cheaper than at Fix Price, and better quality) and frozen mango and guava pulp ($0.50 cheaper in February); one shopper also found tinted sunscreen there that Fix Price did not have. Mango Market has three branches, including a new large store in Montazah, a free transfer and prices in US dollars. Participants described Fix Price as more of a conventional shop and Mango as more of a market.
In July 2026 a shopper compared the two stores: water shoes (reef shoes) at Mango Market were 25 Egyptian pounds cheaper than at Fix Price, and he also preferred their quality. Another point in Mango's favour for him was that it was just around the corner, while Fix Price required a ride. Prices vary by model, so treat the difference as a guide rather than a rule.
Frozen mango pulp, the same shopper recalled, was $0.50 cheaper at Mango Market than at Fix Price in February. He found tinted sunscreen only at Mango — Fix Price did not have it — though he admitted pharmacies might also have been worth checking.
In early July 2026 a participant pointed out that Mango Market has three branches, including a new, large and clean store in the Montazah area. The transfer to the store is free, prices are shown in US dollars, and you can pay in different currencies, but in his view paying in dollars is better value because you lose nothing on exchange.
Impressions of the two formats in late June 2026: Fix Price feels more like a regular shop, while Mango Market is more like a big market hall. On the plus side, Mango has free Wi-Fi and, according to a participant, accepts payment through a banking app.
There is a third option too: the same participant wrote in June 2026 that he liked the 1 Price store in the Old Town. Even so, he still bought his frozen mango and guava pulp at Mango Market.
