TL;DR
Travelers mention at least two convenient pharmacies near hotels in Sharm El Sheikh: one about a 7-minute walk away and another directly across from a hotel, slightly to the left. Both are noted for Russian-speaking staff and fixed pricing.
Russian Pharmacy is listed in the Naama Bay area of Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai; search for “Russian Pharmacy” on a map to locate it.
In Naama Bay, a pharmacy behind the Novotel hotel when facing the sea is recommended. Its owner, Adel, speaks Russian well; the report says he gives knowledgeable medication advice and keeps reasonable prices.
One traveler notes a Russian pharmacy is about 2.5km from the hotel, reached by taxi for 30 Egyptian pounds.
Warning: a pharmacy in the village area (near 'the Wings') keeps raising prices daily (e.g. from $4 to $8 for the same item) and the seller is rude. Instead, travelers recommend ordering from the Russian pharmacy, which delivered items free to the hotel within an hour at fixed prices.
A Russian pharmacy about a 7-minute walk from the hotel is recommended for its fixed prices, Russian-speaking staff, and printed receipt. It’s a practical option if you want straightforward pricing without bargaining.
Travelers also asked whether a Russian pharmacy order could be paid for in cash US dollars. The messages do not confirm the payment method, so it’s best to check directly with the pharmacy in person.
Another recommended pharmacy is directly opposite the hotel, slightly to the left. Travelers mention an Egyptian staff member who speaks Russian well and a Russian-speaking woman, with prices matching those printed on the box.
