Where can I buy coral shoes in Sharm El Sheikh, and how much do they cost?

One traveler noted that walking to the lagoon over concrete slabs without coral shoes was painful — another reason to get a pair before heading there.

Coral shoes were sold on Albatros hotel beach for about $4 a pair, with a wide size range available (even a wide size 46 was found), and the pair lasted through two separate three-week vacations. It was also mentioned that outside the Blue hotel gate they can be found for $3-4, and buyers were satisfied.

Coral shoes can be bought at a shop inside the hotel for about $5 — pricier but convenient right after arrival. Fix Price offers them cheaper, around $1-2, but it usually requires a taxi ride since walking there isn't an option.

Coral shoes are very cheap locally, but it's better to buy them not inside the hotel shop itself but in nearby stores, where they cost less.

If you plan to enter the water with fins from the far staircase of a pier/jetty, coral shoes aren't necessary.

Sometimes coral shoes and flippers can be bought secondhand from other travelers in the same chat: e.g., black/red coral shoes size 45 offered for 200, and barely used black flippers (for size 37) for 600.

Coral shoes are sold locally in Sharm El Sheikh, so bringing a pair from home is not essential. Check small tourist shops on the walk between your hotel, the beach, and main streets.

A mask was reported at US$12 in Mango Market, while shops along the return route had options from US$8. Compare a few nearby shops before buying coral shoes or snorkeling gear.

Coral shoes are a practical item for reef beaches in Sharm El Sheikh, where entry is often over coral or from a jetty. They can be bought after arrival without making a dedicated shopping trip.
