You can bring a lot. From banal magnets to zloty jewelry.
Usually taken from here:
sweets: sesame halva, marshmallow and national sweets, coffee with cardamom (specific taste), hookahs and tobacco for it, towels and cotton products, leather bags made of camel skin and ordinary leather, scarves and knitwear ..... Oh yes Many things.....
And of course fruit!

You can also bring aromatic and medicinal oils and dishes with images of pharaohs)))
When you are here, I advise you at first, just go over the outlets and ask the price. But after that you need to go buy and do not forget to bargain.
If you go to Sharm, then write to the face of the ladies of the place where you can buy everything cheaper.

I still don't know where I'm going. I will go in the middle of March. If I go to Sharm, I will definitely write to you. Thank you very much for your answer.

And also a natural washcloth, which is used for peeling in hamams. A very wonderful thing for the skin. In Soviet times, those who knew were taken from the sunny republics.

And also CARTOUS! You will not buy this decoration anywhere except Egypt. Go to the search engine and read what it is. Moreover, they are made to order. It can be made of silver with gold letters, it can be made of gold. Moreover, people of all faiths can wear it, because. Ancient Egyptian symbols, on which you will write your name, appeared long before the emergence of any of the existing religions. I have one cartouche, along with a golden cross and a golden chain in Thailand, was torn off my neck by a strong wave. Well, I did not think that it would be better to remove. So I just bought a new one a month and a half ago on my next trip to Egypt. We were in Sharm in January. Moreover, they made me almost the same as I had. The plate is silver, the symbols are gold. Plus blackening of the plate itself. I liked it even then, for the first time. So I recommend! Well, and also CARCADE tea, roses are sold there! Not like ours, some kind of dust and garbage. I also recommend buying yellow tea. It is very useful as a phytotherapeutic remedy for many ailments. Well, something like this....

And lastly, be sure to check the weather at the time when you plan to relax there. We didn't swim much this year. Though the sun warmed, but there was a cold piercing wind. Even the heated pool was not attractive. Even though they got tanned! This is just advice. Pay special attention to the direction of the wind in the forecast! Although in March, I think it will be much warmer than in January! Have a good rest and new impressions! Moreover, it will no longer be necessary to pay for anything at the airport upon arrival! Good luck!

The above is true, but I strongly advise you to buy a CRYSTAL OF FRESHNESS there ... it is both a deodorant and against cuts when shaving ... it is sold in pharmacies, essential oil centers and even in shops where there are spices. It works great ... I bought a set of 5 pieces for $ 15 separately - $ 4 each. And I advise everyone to eat MANGO. This is a separate impression.

I didn't know there were mangoes in Egypt. And what other fruits are there? I bought crystals in Thailand.
аватар ludok61
There we ate awesome big dates!

I know that you can’t take it out, these are shells and corals from the beach, for which there are big fines! And the mango in Egypt is very tasty, and I also like guava.

First of all, do not buy anything on the territory of the hotel (the ideal option is to buy in the shops of the city or the market), and secondly, first go and ask the price of everything that interests you, and only on the second or third day buy, but be sure to calculate in which currency it is more profitable purchase - in dollars or in local pounds. And, I beg you, be sure to bargain to the point of insanity with the element of turning and leaving - 100% works (and even more so if you are a girl, success is guaranteed, but behave like a flirtatious little bitch). I personally bought local knitwear (towels, bathrobes, T-shirts, etc.), dishes (plates, mugs), haberdashery (leather bags), and of course all kinds of fruits (mad about local tangerines), herbs and spices. I'm not fond of hookah, but my friends raked in cheap coals and tobacco. And the most important thing is that you can stir up a change for our cigarettes and vodka - I’ll tell you it’s very profitable (so for a bottle of 0.5 vodyusik you can exchange a thing worth 15-20 bucks). Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

Yes, I forgot to remind you once again to buy everything only locally (the quality is excellent).

Take soft mango there. Take home hard, so as not to crush on the way home. Kg from 2-8 dollars. in different places. Usually you can get the cheapest from the hotel. At the Metro store. There are shops in Naama Bay with a price of 4 to 8 dollars. Fresh dates are great, ripe figs are great.
Ashta is tasty if soft.
Guava - evidence, like our pear, the taste is unusual.
Very tasty oranges come across.
аватар orbittours.ru
Now is the season for oranges, tangerines. They are the tastiest right now. You can buy mango, melon, ashta, fresh dates, strawberries, guava and bananas. By the way, bananas here are not the same as you usually buy at home, they are not glazed and with a pleasant sourness.

Again, I continue ... Papyrus on the wall - this is nowhere else. There are different sizes and plots. Particularly interesting is the option - in the light of one image, in the dark it glows with another. For transportation, the papyrus is folded and packed in a rigid tube as for drawings ... you will bring it exactly;))

Great, we will definitely eat outlandish fruits and bring them home to the children. Thanks for answers. very useful information. As for the money, it will be necessary to count. And where are they exchanged for their Egyptian ones at a good rate?

As for bargaining to the last, that's for sure! And in no case, if you liked any thing, do not show it. So, they say, nothing. . . . . With a touch of irony. . . . They are such psychologists! And, everywhere, in all countries! Drop the price in half! Moreover, they are very fond of not immediately naming the price, but their favorite phrase: "I'll give in!". Therefore, strive to name the price right away! And if you collect any goods, immediately count for yourself, taking into account what you have already bargained for! You can also buy good things from alabaster from them. All sorts of figurines, glasses. Such cute ones. But if you buy mugs, then at the bottom, on the back, look for it to be written in Arabic, because if it says "maid in Egypt", most likely it is China, and not local production. Yes, by the way, in Duty Free, every cotton, scarves and other things are more expensive. So, there on the way back if you only buy alcohol. And everything else in the city, where you will walk. And of course, be sure to buy ARAFATKA as a keepsake! By the way, I wear a warm version under my neck in winter. Cool warms both shoulders and throat. Trade too! We are at the pyramids, however, in 2012 we bargained for almost three dollars each! By God!

I already have everything that was listed, basically. I brought the "Hand of Mary" - this is such a plant from the desert. It is dried and it turns out like buds on stalks, but they are not flowers. It is extremely useful for girls, as it contributes to children. I haven’t brewed yet. I bought it in Sharm at the market.

Change the currency at the hotel at the reception, or at the bank if there is one nearby. In stores and on the market, the exchange rate is not profitable.
