TL;DR
In Sharm el Sheikh suitcases are bought locally in ordinary shops and stores like Fix Price, but prices depend heavily on bargaining. In August 2026 travelers bought a carry-on-size suitcase for $15 after checking about ten shops that asked $20–30. A medium suitcase at Fix Price cost about $15–17 in spring, but there is no feedback on how durable it is.
To avoid going over the baggage allowance, travelers recommend an electronic luggage scale — it weighs 100–200 grams and is handy if you fly often. In August 2026 one family who had left theirs at home bought a new one at Mango Market.
In August 2026 travelers bought a carry-on-size suitcase locally for $15. Before that they visited about ten shops: similar ones were offered for $20–25 everywhere, and in one place even $30. On the way back to the hotel, another shop said it would have sold the same one for $10. The takeaway from this experience: compare prices and bargain.
According to a participant, an acquaintance of theirs bought a medium-size suitcase at Fix Price in April 2026 for about $15–17. The participant does not know how sturdy it is, so treat this as a price reference rather than a quality one.
For anyone planning to fill a new suitcase with souvenirs, a participant reminded in August 2026 that coral and seashells taken from the sea must not be exported — if they are found, the fine is very large.
In Naama Bay, near-identical suitcases for about $20 are sold on practically every corner, as travelers described it in July 2026. Many do not trust their quality and ask about better shops; based on August experience, similar models are offered for $20–25.
