Action plan and general questions
So, going on vacation in September, I decided to start a topic where I could ask questions. Well, and accordingly, if possible, get answers
1. Arrival at 15.00, as far as I understand at the hotel not earlier than 16.30-17.00
2. You need to buy coral slippers and arafatka. Where can I buy?
3. Accordingly, for a trip to the city it is necessary to exchange dollars, where is it better?
4. As far as I understand, you can’t drink alcohol on the streets? Do they sell in cafes, is it possible to carry with you to those cafes where they do not sell? In what quantities :) and what?
5. Do the markets sell beer? Not a local spill?
6. Do taxi drivers bargaining numbers and type of currency speak Russian?

1-time of arrival at the hotel was correctly laid down. Everything will depend on how the tourists will get on the bus.
2-In the Old Town, on the market in Old Mkrket, this is the name. The price of slippers is about $ 5, and the arafat is $ 2. In local currency it will be cheaper 25-30LE. and 10LE for Arafat.
3-at the airport, change a small amount of about $ 20-50
4-in a cafe, if alcohol is indicated on the menu, they sell it. But local spill. If not, then ask if you can use yours or not. Everywhere is different.
Beer is sold in specialized stores. Alcohol is also sold there. In supermarkets, no. We sell alcohol and peasants are allowed to sell it for tourists. I answer quality beer.
Bargain with taxi drivers. The approximate cost from your hotel is $ 5 to Naama or the market.

If the question of alcohol and its quality is not the last for you, then buy in a dutik - you will not regret it.
Aisha basically answered the list of your questions, so, what is still not clear - mark it.

Thanks for the answers .. Well, we are not going to fall face is not in our rules) We behave decently.
Regarding slippers and arafatki, but in Naama there is nowhere to take it, otherwise on the first day, and even in the evening, you don’t want to roam the market (by the way, until what time does it work?)?
Regarding a taxi from the hotel, $5 is about 30 pounds?
It seems that they gave advice above that the normal cost is 15 pounds?

I can’t say, but they won’t go for 15LE. Naama is more expensive than in the Old Town, but you can bargain. Trade shops are everywhere.

And what, do you need slippers, and especially arafatki, right on the first evening? Although, regarding slippers and similar ammunition, I am committed to buying these things of high quality and, usually, saving turns into more waste - we are not so rich to pay cheaply.

1) arrival at 15.00 - check-in after 16.30
2) All purchases are cheaper in the Old Town - Old Market (fruits, masks, fins, corals...)
3) Change dollars at the airport to start with 20, and then at any Sharma bank, there are a lot of them, or an ATM. 1$=5.94 pounds
4) Take alcohol in duty free, there are very few liquor stores in the city, and only local! We took our own no one said anything (although not very welcome, but we are a little bit)
5) Even in the Metro supermarket they saw only their local champagne (G "rare)"
6) Most of the population in the resort areas understands and speaks Russian (there have never been any problems).
It is not necessary to take a taxi, you can also use minibuses - blue, travel around Sharm from 1 to 5 pounds.

Regarding the "slippers": I advise all my friends to buy Crocs (only real ones, not a fake) - the best slippers, there is no demolition and maximum comfort (we have been using it for several years).

And we took silicone slippers at SportMaster at home, - the Arena company. Very satisfied, not the first year. There is no comparison with the first ones that were bought in Egypt - although they were glad then, it was enough for 1 trip.
Yes, the buses run 24/7.

We were at Sea food, we were very pleased - we took 8 huge shrimp, the largest lobster and a large sea bass (at the same time, garnish, sauces, salad, dessert and tea were included for free). The issue price is $ 90 (in Kyiv, this is a ball for such quality and quantity), while alcohol is not sold there and you can bring whatever you want with you.

What I'm talking about is that this issue needs to be taken seriously and buy "slippers" at home.

There is a flower shop with a large selection in the Old Town. At the entrance to the Old City on the left side - before reaching the Old Market.
I can't say anything about prices.
aisha2010 - how the local will quickly orient on the prices of flowers.

Thanks, I read that thread a few days ago. There is not so much about snacking, mostly at the beginning, and then everyone went into lyrics)
Which of the Fares is more suitable for the above requirements? What did you try, what did you like?

Thanks for the tip. Sea food as far as I remember in Naama?
Sea bass, sea bus? :-)
ps .. Found - sea bass. )
I'm generally indifferent to fish, but I love crustaceans ...

To be honest, I don’t care who loves what and what is indifferent to (I love EVERYTHING and more about sea and river), I wrote a list to orient on the price, I hope it’s significant.

Fares, of course, is the cleanest and most solemn, so to speak, in the Il Mercato area from the side of Aida 4 *, on the second floor.
We tried some soup with shrimp, a big lobster, but I don't remember the prices. There was not one, but we were three couples, the men paid, and mine does not remember either. But the lobster seemed to be 80 pounds.

In normal seafood restaurants, all prices are based on weight only, so it’s not clear if 80 pounds is a lot or a little (you need to know how large or small the lobster was).

I re-read this thread again, "found" enlightenment, if you limit yourself to swimming in a hotel from a pontoon, then you can do without any special "slippers", so, in this case, do not waste your money (otherwise we paid so much attention that, you might think that without slippers you are just there - nothing, which is not true). In fact, it is in Conti that special shoes are not really needed. Good luck!

Excuse me. Just got back from work. Met with guests. Prices for flowers: from 2LE to 10LE - for a rose. Bouquets are made from standard to very chic. When there are many flowers, there are good discounts for a bouquet. pointed out. Carnation in my 5LE.
