Where to buy groceries and souvenirs cheaply in Sharm el-Sheikh — Mango Market or hotel shops?

Mango Market is worth multiple visits — prices are noticeably lower than hotel shops. Good picks include frozen juices, loose-leaf tea, dates, cookies, discounted halva, and miswak sticks.

The street market near Il Mercato hotel is a solid alternative to Mango Market with similar or even lower prices — and unlike Mango, bargaining is welcome here.

Hotel mini-shops sell small items like lighters for around $2, but this is the most expensive option — these are basic goods sold at a heavy tourist markup.
