In Egypt, I was in 2 hotels: Savoy in Sharm el-Sheikh and Serenity Makadi Heights in Hurghada. if you like discos and restaurants, then it is better to go to Sharm el-Sheikh, to a hotel near the city of Naama Bay. Everything is more civilized and Europeanized there. From any hotel there is a bus to Naama Bay. And if you stay at the Savoy Hotel, then the bus is free, and the hotel itself has a cool disco (free for hotel residents), where people come from other hotels, but for money. Naama Bay has a good bar-disco Buddabar.

About the knowledge of Russian and English speech - in most hotels where Russians rest, the staff speaks fluently, sometimes well. About discos - in any hotel, the best discos in the area will tell you. The Arabs are very responsive guys, they will immediately send you where you need to go! )))

and it is best to buy papyrus there (to be in Egypt without papyrus is nonsense!), leather goods, gold, silver, teas, cotton items (do not look for a company - everything is fake!), oils, perfumes ... in general, everything is much cheaper, you just need to take money with a margin

In Egyptian hotels working
on the system "All inclusive" basically not at all rare
Russian language, and even more so English
A good youth option Sierra 4 *
in Sharm El Sheikh
with your own disco
аватар Zlata28
about what to bring with you:
except beach things take
warm clothes, because the evenings are cool and windy
also take comfortable clothes and shoes
for trips on excursions
Be sure to take protective equipment
from the burning sun

And I always bring python skin wallets and bags from Egypt from Egypt. And halva is better than in Turkey!
аватар orhideya21
Sierra 4*, Domina Coral Bay 5*!
аватар Ruslan33
I agree, the halvah is magnificent, really $ 2 for 500 gr. a jar in the supermarket (bargain if higher!). But fruits are not very cheap: mango - $4 per kg, ishta - $5, strawberries - $3 per kg.
аватар Amir1
at any. Almost every hotel meets the advanced requirements.
About strawberries. Today I returned from the advertiser. Strawberries in Hurghada after the auction were given for 4 pounds per kilogram. 1 dollar = 5.5 pounds. It's not on the market. If you go to the old market, it will be 2-3 times cheaper, but we didn't have time.
аватар Ruslan33
Lucky. Or fell in price, or we were bred.
аватар Amir1
Ruslan33 :)))
аватар Zlata28
about what to buy there:
fruits, sweets, hibiscus tea
hookahs, hookah tobacco, papyri
fridge magnets (for gifts to friends)
аватар Zlata28
Ruslan33 Have you tried to bargain? :)))
some very high prices you describe ...
аватар orhideya21
Gold. Tried. Mango-6 dollars, Strawberries - 4 dollars. packaging, dates - 2 dollars. tray. True, in Naama and Soho (I understand that it’s like buying something in a boutique on Khreshchatyk, but we relaxed on vacation and pulled ourselves together on the last evening). Maybe it’s cheaper somewhere in Sharm, tell me. And then I took up fruit for the first time in so many trips. Somehow blew this thing...
аватар Amir1
orhideya21 in Sharm in the Old Market, in Hurghada on Sheraton Street, and even better in the old market. taxi drivers know, but it's very dirty and creepy.
аватар orhideya21
Thank you! Is there a METRO store in Sharm?
аватар Nichka
there is! not far from the Old Maket - you can walk. And fruits are cheap.
аватар orhideya21
Thank you!
аватар Ruslan33
Gold, of course I tried. Only if all the mangoes cost $4 per kilogram, is this the standard price. Ishtu was bargained from 5 to 4 dollars. But strawberries can really vary greatly: someone for $ 1, and someone took for $ 4. Here it is not clear.
In general, fruits are not very cheap in Egypt. If we translate into our prices, 4 dollars - 120 rubles. As far as I know, there are many poor people in Egypt and there are social shops for the population, where these fruits are many times cheaper (for locals!)

I would advise for young people In Hurghada, Sinbad hotels are in the very center, in the most civilized part of it, near the Metro, strawberries there now are 1 kg 10 pounds, 2 steps away - the best disco in the city - Little Buddha, for tourists from Sinbad entrance is free . for everyone else - 20 dollars each. In the evening you can walk along the promenade. there are large shopping centers - such as "Ramstore" with fixed prices, this is if you bargain hard. And there are a lot of cafes there with very decent prices - all-squeezed juices - mango, strawberries - 10 pounds, cocktails - 15. Shisha smoke from 5 pounds.
Well, an elite vacation with excellent service, rooms, the sea, without trips to the city is CitadelAzur. There is a review. True, there is more about excursions. Have a nice rest.
аватар Zlata28
now I understand why expensive fruit prices are mentioned
probably bought it in the wrong place
i.e. advice: shopping (both fruits and souvenirs, etc.)
you need to go to the old town in the Old Market
prices, especially for fruits, well, just mere trifles
especially after skillful bargaining :))
you can get there by minibus or taxi (also do not forget to bargain)
in the end, even the trip will more than pay off
Happy shopping everyone!

Gold, what is it called? Do I confuse with Down Town?
аватар Zlata28
no, it's called the Old Market
located in the old town
you can get there by bus
as well as by taxi
аватар Amir1
Ruslan33 Old Market and Down Town are one (in principle) and the same (in principle), only Old Market is in Sharm, and Down Town is in Hurghada.
аватар Ruslan33
I felt it in my gut))) But I decided to clarify. Something I went to all the markets (Old or not Old, you can’t figure it out there), but the prices were the same everywhere
аватар P_Serg
It depends on what you are pursuing: a good hotel or a youth vacation (right at the hotel). You can live in a good hotel and go to Naama to discos, restaurants, etc.
And the same strawberries at different times cost differently. For example, in March it costs $1 per kg. (this is even without bargaining).
аватар Amir1
Ruslan33 The old market in Sharm is not a specific store, but a whole area where the local market is located. Here are the lowest prices. Down Town is the same in Hurghada, only there it is Sheraton Street with a bunch of different shops and a distant local market (very, very dirty), which few people know about. There prices are ridiculous. but it's not pleasant to be there, to put it mildly. But I was there. I could not bargain, even for me the atmosphere there is too depressing. But even without "bargaining" I bought 22 kg of pomegranates for 10 dollars.
