A pharmacy near Maritim is recommended for its selection and prices: take the promenade toward the beach and turn left, pass the Lebanese restaurant on the right, then after the hotel grounds end, go past a small shop; the pharmacy is set back slightly on the right.

The most practical tip near Fix Price is to check the two closest pharmacies with good reviews and compare the price of the same medicine before buying.

If medicines do not have visible price labels, do not buy from the first shop right away: in Sharm El Sheikh, neighboring pharmacies may charge different amounts, so it is worth asking in more than one place.

Before paying, travelers recommend checking the amount against the price printed or stamped on the medicine box. This helps spot whether a particular pharmacy is overcharging.
