TL;DR
Choose the Old Market for sightseeing, Naama Bay for a shopping-street stroll, and SOHO Square for a brightly lit evening area. El Mercato is mentioned as being less impressive than it used to be.
For an evening stroll in Sharm El Sheikh, the main areas to consider are the Old Market, Naama Bay and SOHO Square. They are presented as better choices for lively, illuminated streets than El Mercato.
If choosing between the Old Market and Naama Bay, base it on your plans: the Old Market is better for sightseeing, while Naama Bay is mainly a shopping-street area.
Do not choose Naama Bay specifically for major shopping: it can be worth visiting for a ride and a walk around the area, but it is not recommended for serious purchases.
The Old Market is a convenient option when you want to get out of the resort for a few hours: it is suggested for an independent outing on a cooler evening rather than staying at the hotel.
