You can get a free transfer to Mango Market by booking it via the shop's Instagram — it has everything (groceries, clothes, souvenirs) at very low prices.

Naama Bay has good fixed-price shops where you can find everything you need at reasonable prices.

Near one of the local shops there is Point Market — a full supermarket with a wide selection, prices lower than at Mango Market.

Fixed-price shops have fair, non-inflated prices from the start. Street stalls may quote prices 2–10 times above the real value — bargaining is essential.

There are several small shops along the promenade behind the Jaz hotel chain. Prices there are noticeably lower than in large hotel shops — worth a walk to compare.

The fixed-price store in Sharm el-Sheikh is called One Stop — it's not a chain like Fix Price, but a local shop where prices are set and non-negotiable.

One Stop

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.

The fixed-price store is located in a different part of the city, away from most hotels. Worth checking its exact location before making a trip.

Tourist shops in Sharm el-Sheikh are all roughly on the same level — minor differences in quality and selection, but nothing dramatic.
