Which juices in Sharm El Sheikh are genuinely freshly squeezed, and which are usually made from frozen or premixed concentrates?

Some bars make piña coladas with juice and rum but no cream or milk, resulting in a much clearer drink than the usual creamy version. Ask about the ingredients if you prefer a creamy cocktail.

Hotel bars may stock boxed guava juice, including for drinks mixed with rum. This is a ready-made packaged juice rather than a freshly squeezed option.

In Egypt, juice dispensers are often filled with a prepared base that can taste more like packaged juice than freshly pressed fruit.

At some fresh-juice and cocktail stalls, part of the menu is made from bottled frozen pulpy juice. Travelers observed that orange and sugarcane juice were the options actually pressed fresh there.

Frozen pulpy juices are different from very sweet juice-based cocktails, but they should not be treated as fresh juice. For a genuinely fresh drink, choose one squeezed in front of you.

Sugarcane juice is a common local choice and is often ordered by Egyptians, although its distinctive taste is not for everyone. It is one of the more likely options to be freshly pressed.
