Senzo is within walking distance from your hotel. From home sweets, I recommend paying attention to halva. Sold in plastic jars, easy to carry. Sometimes with nuts, sometimes without. You will have a lot of souvenir shops, opposite the Sunrise Mamlouk hotel, where the shopping arcade is located and opposite Dana Beach. Shops full and at your hotel.

here's a video of what you can buy in Egypt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Q8s_6J340, next to the hotel there is a huge super hypermarket with fixed prices that sell only for pounds, you can buy anything there. leave the hotel behind the fence to the left, go for about 10 minutes and welcome to the senzomol, there are also a number of shops opposite Dana beach, but it’s better if you don’t mind the prices to go to Cleopatra there is also a fixed price, it’s profitable to buy T-shirts and in general cotton goods are excellent quality, prices are ridiculous, an adult T-shirt costs 5 bucks for children 3, the more you take, the lower the price, you can bargain and 3 bucks for an adult if you take 10 pieces at once. towel t-shirts for every taste and color. in general, ordinary souvenirs from 1 to 5 bucks. do not take coral slippers for 5 bucks more, they are not worth it. If you have any more questions, write and I will answer.

I bought T-shirts for home, fresh halva and melons and mango juice.
Well, and so on the little things all sorts of souvenirs. I also bought a cartouche for my daughter in Luxor, $ 15 (silver) did not turn black, went with a mez tour, they offered us these cartouches and made them in a day.

in the hotel itself, go shopping but don’t buy anything, look at what you need, and then tell the merchant that you will buy only from him, you won’t go to other stores if he gives you a good discount, you can look at prices in Cleopatra for what and then at the hotel you can safely ask for a price 20-30% cheaper. stand firmly on your price, if they don’t give in, reduce more and more he will give you 50, you will give him 10, well, something like that.

it depends on what to buy there are very cheap souvenirs, I bought mouse pads with a 3D effect on Egyptian themes (camels, pyramids, tutankhamun) VERY BEAUTIFUL they cost 6 pounds for our money 36 rubles, where can you buy such mouse pads from us at such a ridiculous price, I scored friends as gifts. and it seems not magnets and not postcards, and it’s very beautiful and everyone is pleased. saved decently on gifts for friends.)))) of course, in the shops there is a larger selection of souvenirs and you can bargain, but I recommend everyone to go over the prices in fixed stores and then boldly go to bargain an order of magnitude lower in the shops. BUT NOT EVERYONE IS ABLE TO BARGAIN LIKE ME)))) I’ll exhaust any merchant myself, I won’t be happy))) he will give for how much I need, so for some, any fixed prices lower than in the shop will swindle them like fools. looked here on the yu tube how to buy a hookah in Egypt))))) registered people for 30 bucks bought something that costs 5, learn to bargain!!!!!! THIS IS A WHOLE ART, not everyone can master it. I even got decent discounts on excursions from the hotel guide)))))

I think the people themselves will figure it out, go to a couple of shops and decide for themselves where and what to buy.

It is not easy to give advice, first of all, the budget of the trip, interests and preferences are not known, one way or another, I think that my advice at the beginning to go to stores with fixed prices is not worse than your advice, I know how to bargain, someone does not know how, or maybe does this is better than me, so I think that on the spot they will figure out what and how. without personal experience they still can not do. merchants are different, there are adequate, there are gloomy and boring, there are very funny. it's like playing roulette. and yet in stores with fixed prices, they are also not badly deceived, they simply do not give change. sometimes very decent amounts, in three stores they tried to fuck me but they ran into the wrong one.))))))

there is one more piece of advice when going to shops in shops, close your hotel bracelets so that no one sees which hotel you live in, merchants are in such terrible confusion, I don’t really know how to deceive you by 5 stars by 4 or 3, they often think that you generally rent housing, which means that it’s not the first time you have arrived and understand the prices

Sem11 you argue like a man, why bother to haggle, he came, took what he needed and didn’t need and left, and the trick is that some shops have unique souvenirs that you can’t buy in others, in a glance everything is the same everywhere, but believe me, sometimes you can find something interesting, not like everyone else. I still regret that I didn’t buy one thing in all of Hurghada, I didn’t see this, but the merchant was too stubborn, got caught, raised the price and also insisted on his own and left with nothing and then regretted, well, think of some $ 40, piece goods handmade. If I go again, the first thing I will do is go to that shop. in general, like any woman, I scan all the shelves with goods, when there are a lot of goods, we simply don’t see a lot. but sorry. that's why going to the shops for me personally is also an art to find something that not everyone has, something original.
that's when you learn to bring something unusual from trips, then you can understand the whole buzz of a hike through the shops and back streets.

after reading your answers to questions and your questions sem11, I conclude that we are different people, I personally did not offend you, we are different people, the one who asked the question is also a person and he is interested in all the answers. I am fond of photography, my direction is still life, and I am also looking for something unusual in these shops, that thing for $ 40 was a wooden violin about 15 cm in size, very beautiful, you must admit that such an item in a souvenir shop in Egypt is just an exclusive, but they have a tree very expensive for not having forests. everyone goes for something different. someone does not leave the water park, someone from the sea, someone from the bar, someone from the pool, someone sunbathes. in my 10 days, I went on 3 sea excursions, visited Cairo, Luxor, El Gouna, managed to sunbathe, go several times to Hurghada, bought gifts for relatives and friends, received gifts in the shops for FREE !!! - a tunic, a bottle of perfume, 5 pieces of magnets, a couple of key rings, a leather bracelet and other small things. All this was presented to me for a couple of sheets of A4 paper with advertisements in Russian such as (come in, dear guests), I'm not a bazaar grandmother, I can talk to people.

People also work in the shops, and they must be given credit that 90% of these merchants know the Russian language, some know it very well, you can talk with them not only about prices and goods, but about nature, weather, cities and countries, religion and in general about anything whatever. Russians are loved there because our builders built the Aswan platinum, in the same Cairo there are dozens of houses that were built by Russian builders. we are loved and respected there if you are able to behave with dignity and reckon with local customs and way of life. of course, the sea and the sun are a good thing, but after 16-17 hours, when the sun goes down, there is a lot of time to chat and learn more about this country than someone from the tourists will write to you, I went alone without a husband, no one touched me with their hands or grabbed. Of course, they were joking and offered an Egyptian husband))) but no one dared to offend and offend me from the locals. So Egypt is a very interesting country with its own quirks, but I love it the way it is. I also have one quirk I collect boxes of matches, in one shop they kindly agreed to run to the yard where I was afraid to go and bought 3 boxes of matches for 1 pound))) such beautiful

And my personal opinion is that stores with fixed prices are a very good thing for quick purchases. but the prices are pretty high too. T-shirts, for example, they have from $ 6 to $ 10, depending on the pattern, in ordinary shops they are all $ 5 if you can bargain well for 4 or even 3 to buy, bottles of RAML sand from $ 5 to $ 20, and on the street from $ 3 up to 15, arafatki for $ 1 are the cheapest, not of very good quality, 3 are of decent quality. Here you need to be able to understand the fabrics. magnets everywhere for 1 bucks only the most beautiful 2, postcards everywhere 3 pieces per dollar, choose any, poreo can be bought for 10 pounds or $ 2, coral slippers $ 5, leather slippers are also sold on the streets, also $ 5, the initial price is called 25))) ) strawberries in the market or in shops for $ 1, a package there is about one kg or a little more, a taxi from Leila to Hurghada asks $ 2 back for 5 but you can bargain for 3-4, I prefer minibuses, 1-2 bucks are cheap)))) hookahs in general china for $5, bed linen of very good quality euro for only 75 pounds about $15-20 is just a freebie. one advice on the first day is not to buy anything, just ask and look at the prices.

Oh, how hot it is here, you might be wrong, you shouldn’t argue with a woman, especially since all the sellers there are men, of course, it’s easier for them to build eyes and get discounts. Yes, and the budget is most often run by ladies.

THAT you yourself are like a market woman, they objected to you, but you can’t calm down in any way. personally, I also prefer to buy everything in shops and right at the hotel, I will not advertise how many times I have been to Egypt, I can only say the first time my foot set foot on this earth in 1996, and then ours were settled in such miserable hotels for 2-3 *. so I'm well versed in prices, I know a little Arabic. and where prices are inflated for you, for me these prices are for locals. most often we buy hibiscus tea or something from aroma oils. such good quality as in Egypt is nowhere to be found. we go to the market where all the prices are written in Arabic, if you knew and understood the prices in this country are ridiculous. And after the revolution, local merchants raised prices for tourists because they were sitting without tourists for almost 3 months, suckers come every day in batches. those who only shop at fixed prices always pay 30% more, sometimes even 50% more. and as Aurita said, if you don’t know how to bargain, you generally have nothing to do in stores. especially to give advice on how to do it and where and what to buy.

in summer and winter, the cheapest tours are out of season, Egypt is very good in autumn, warm sea, great weather in spring, but I will go in spring for the first time. usually go in the fall. parents lived in the village helped them (garden, firewood, etc.) now there are no parents, so they decided to get out in the spring.

rest is regarded differently for everyone, for me these are new impressions, new information, excursions, trips, new people, a change of scenery, as I already wrote, I don’t work, so for me personally the rest looks exactly like that. Well, then, as I already wrote, all purchases can be made in the evening when the sun goes down. from 17:00 to 21:00 you have a car of shopping time on any day convenient for you. it’s still very cool to bargain on excursions, OH THIS IS SOMETHING INCREDIBLE, all traders know that they have literally 5 minutes while tourists go from the bus and back, and if you know the prices, then you can stock up here just for nothing, I bought a pyramid from the feasts, I really liked it could resist offered for 5 gave for $ 1, in Luxor bought a pair of shawls-scarves asked for 10 each gave for 3 both, in Cairo a set of silver-plated jewelry 3 chains, earrings and a bracelet, very beautiful at the beginning cost 30 bucks gave for 5, perfect a gift for girlfriends. after me, half the bus was bought from him when I announced the true price. somehow like this )))))

that's the whole problem or not a problem. for someone it’s easier for you to buy everything at fixed prices, for someone bargaining in a store is hell, and for someone like me it’s just a joy. I'm having so much fun.
that's why I wrote that advice is good, but people themselves will figure out on the spot what they like best. and how it is more convenient for them to shop, and what to buy is also difficult to advise everyone’s interests are different, for example, I personally don’t need corcode tea for nothing or hookahs, and a whole lot of rubbish. and someone really needs it. until people see for themselves what they are offered is difficult to explain. I still know people who buy leather jackets only in Egypt. Actually, as in any store, everyone buys what he considers necessary for him personally. it's just that the art of bargaining is not subject to everyone; it's difficult. in fact, you need some talent and the ability to speak a lot and quickly, it is very difficult to be able to chat the seller.

I will give you one practical advice, it is best to go to the store together. look around slowly. if you saw something and you liked it, you don’t have to grab it in your hands and enthusiastically say something like ABOUT EXACTLY THIS IS WHAT I NEED, OR I WANT IT. hold your gaze, you can even twist it in your hands, but do not give out your emotions, look at everything indifferently. like you don't know what you need. you can even leave the store and agree with a friend or with whom you go shopping there, then go shopping, they tell you the price, well, for example, take a medium-sized vase, the initial price is 25-30 Baku, boldly discount 50%, continue the conversation, the seller is not inferior , at this moment your friend says the phrase, come on, this vase costs 10 in our hotel, you ask again that we have the same vases in the hotel, put the vase on the shelf and pretend to leave, then you are asked your price , you call your price 5 bucks, in the end you buy for 8-9, what originally cost 25-30. you read this text in less than 1-2 minutes, in the shop it will take you 5-10 minutes to trade. just in no case do not show the mind that you need this product will not throw off a single pound.

and wherever you are, do not speak badly about the locals, remember that they very cleverly pretend that they do not understand Russian, although many people understand it and do not speak it badly.
there was a case we were riding in a minibus, my local friend tried to joke, I just begged her not a word not a word, when we got out one of the passengers uttered a phrase in Russian, and our women in public transport do not sit next to men. When he left, I told her, well, I told you that they know almost all Russian, be silent like a fish in their presence with your jokes, we are visiting.
