In fact, if your hotel is not far from Sakala (the new business center of Hurghada), then there are plenty of different restaurants. There are enough fish restaurants: ElJoker, FishHouse, ElMina. I really like Elmina, and the locals say that this is the best fish. I will not say anything about sovereigns, since there is a lot of everything there, and I don’t know what is interesting for you. Definitely a bargain.

bargain until you are blue in the face, they wanted to sell us a cat for 250 pounds, they said that basalt, in fact, you will not find real basalt in the resorts of Egypt, in the end they bought a cat for 20 pounds. in everything, the longer you bargain, the cheaper it is. buy any souvenirs at the end of your vacation, then it will be easier to navigate with prices

it all depends on the city in which you eat (sharm or hurghada) from souvenirs - hookah, wool willow carpets, cotton items (t-shirts / shorts, etc.).
as for food, I ate at the hotel..usually went to a cafe to drink a cocktail / beer
the location of the cafe will depend on where your hotel will be located from the center or not, as a rule, hotels are located on the coast, cafes are not often nearby. we went to the cafe by minibus or taxi

be sure to bargain (including with taxi drivers), as a rule, the price can be reduced by half (I bought a suitcase on wheels of medium size for $ 15, initially it was 25). keep prisebe change money Pts often sellers"cannot be " change. for prices - alcoholic cocktails were 5 dollars. look at the map how far your hotel is from the city center (the bus is about 5 egypt pounds if your hotel is far from the city center at night can take 10).

In Egypt, alcohol is not sold in stores. foreigners can buy it in duty free shops in Egypt within 24 hours from the moment of arrival in the country, or buy it in bars in portions.

Hi. rested in the summer in hurghada. went shopping, but understood, the farther away from the hotel, the cheaper the price. bought-kalyan, T-shirts, towels. oils. for vsena should bargain, first just find out the price. if you have all then there are no problems, all alcohol in the hotel, and so, except perhaps just for the sake of exotics.
good rest.
good rest.

you have to haggle everywhere. As a rule, the price is halved. Souvenirs can be found for every taste, but it’s best to buy them at the end of the tour. My men didn’t like local alcohol, but I preferred local beer. "Sugar ", it is purely masculine. We went by minibus for 1 pound in Hurghada. Charm is an order of magnitude more expensive, but more civilized (this is for my taste). Have a good trip and more positive!

if you have a tour, then you won’t even want to eat on HB. for a dish. Knitwear before the first wash and thread, and paint, and therefore it is not expensive. Beer, wine, vodka, take Hurghada with you, not Crimea, you can not take a bag in your hands. be stricter with them. Have a nice holiday.

I can say that souvenirs in Egypt are not the best in quality (gold, silver - falls apart immediately, various figurines and drawings on porcelain tell about the afterlife, which, in their opinion, is harmful to health and negatively affects human energy) Souvenirs on the Giza Plateau EVERYTHING such features. Hibiscus near the road in pesticides. Of all that is there, you can take - textiles. In some places it is very even (shawls, poncho national costume (only in specialized stores), Hookah.

If you plan to go on excursions (I highly recommend), then it makes no sense to take all-inclusive, lunch is included in all excursions.
I advise you to go to the fish restaurant "El Joker", very tasty. There is an assorted dish (enough for 3 people) with salads about 90l.
I don’t recommend Fish House, everything is dry and tasteless, no service.
There is a local cafe in the alley just short of El Joker. There you can try national food, incl. stuffed dove. Lots of cafes and restaurants. For fans there is Mk Donalds.
It is better to buy souvenirs in shops. Oil 1-1.5 f/g. Figurines are cheaper on excursions to Luxor from locals with hands from 1 day. Guides say that these are fakes, but I understand that they sell the same thing as in the store. High-quality cotton in the Kartush store. Papyrus, depending on quality and size, from 2 ft. to infinity.
