From messages by 2 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 93 days ago

TL;DR

According to a tourist in July 2026, the widest cheese selection in Sharm El Sheikh was at the Metro supermarket: around 20–25 kinds of cheese and about as many cured meats. Of the ones he tried, he liked one or two; the rest seemed odd in ingredients and taste. He did not get to Carrefour, and others in the discussion pointed out that hotels usually serve perfectly decent cheese.

What the community said

In July 2026 a tourist described the selection at the Metro supermarket in Sharm El Sheikh: about 20–25 kinds of cheese and roughly as many kinds of sausage and cured meat. He tried several cheeses: he liked one, a second one only just, and found the rest odd in ingredients and taste. This is one shopper's impression, and tastes differ.

The same tourist also planned to check Carrefour but never made it there, so his experience covers Metro only. If Metro does not have a cheese you like, Carrefour is the next supermarket worth checking for yourself.

Others in the July 2026 discussion noted that even a cheese you liked at Metro may not be in stock next time, and that hotels usually serve perfectly decent cheese. If you want one specific taste, they said, you will have to hunt for it yourself.
