Carrefour is one of the main supermarkets in Sharm el-Sheikh. Bassem Market works as a convenience store but has a limited selection. Only Egyptian pounds accepted — no USD.
Depending on your hotel area, you may find Kluny, Darya (tourist-oriented fixed-price shops), Bassem Market (locals-focused), and Metro supermarket nearby.
