TL;DR

In June 2026 travelers suggested looking for an action camera in Sharm El Sheikh at the Omar-Omar shop near the fountain: it is small, but participants said it usually sells at the price printed on the box without a markup, though you should still check. Budget cameras, according to a June comment, cost about 1,500 (figure given without a currency) including an underwater case and shoot acceptably. In shops on the fountain square, paying in Egyptian pounds is recommended.
