Mostly they carry papyri, cheap and cheerful. Only you need to bargain in half for sure

As much as possible, even necessary!
This is better than souvenirs, especially since most of the souvenirs are from China, just like in our market (like pyramids, etc.)

Of course, I really like the fruit idea. They're probably cheap. But how do you carry them? in a suitcase?

strawberries were taken in hand luggage, in pinoplast packages
Melons in a suitcase.
In general, in terms of hardness, decide what goes where.
The aroma in the cabin was fruity-exotic!

I also bring scarves from Egypt))). They are very beautiful, high-quality and most importantly not expensive (but only if you bargain). They call you the amount, feel free to divide by 3! I brought a scarf, bought it for $ 6, by chance in Moscow I saw the exact same one in a store, only for 1900 rubles) Have a good rest!

And we bargained for mangoes at 25 pounds per kg. We took 4 kg in hand luggage, we were afraid that they would weigh and swear, but no one even paid attention to our packages. We like Egyptian terry towels-cotton of good quality and much cheaper than us. I bring cups with Egyptian pictures and key chains as gifts. We take Alenka chocolates and Semki seeds as gifts for the staff.

And I buy Egyptian towels - my mother / grandmothers / aunts - they like it very much!
I also bought shirts in the local style for the children - they are, of course, clumsily made, but always bright and suitable for a change.
And for men, we buy either T-shirts with some identifying inscription, or arafats.

Buy everything in the Old Market (old town), where you can bargain cheaper.
But in principle, you can bargain in any market, and in the shops of Egypt.

And I don’t advise you to go to the old city at all, especially to those who are the first time. In recent years, merchants have become completely inadequate in the Old City. My husband and I are generally very tolerant towards the Arabs, but on the last trip in the old city they really They brought it out. And you can also make purchases in the new city (Naama Bay) and you can and should bargain there. Just catch a taxi and say that you are in the Metro.

in the Old City as luck would have it. in December, one of them also brought us out, but the other seller turned out to be very attentive, and bargained with us with a smile, and was pleased, and then they went to him and made good discounts immediately without bargaining

It is clear that everything depends on the person, and there are quite a few good people among Arab merchants. But after five trips to Sharm, we observe a complication in communicating with Arabs in the old city. The new one also has enough obsessive sellers, but still calmer. In general for people who are going to Egypt for the first time, I think the old city will be too strong an impression and not necessarily positive. Decide for yourself. Have a nice holiday!

For the Egyptians they brought a bottle of vodka (with a beautiful bottle design) + a chocolate bar "Alenka"))
And from Egypt - a bunch of everything. But as time has shown, aloe oil turned out to be the best (only from Sharm! in Hurghada, for some reason, it is completely different in color, smell and action), elegant bottles for oils ("perfume"), and some kind of "perfume" oil , which can be poured into these bottles at home and presented ...
