My information (regarding prices) as of the end of December 2017, I can give you fresh information in a week, when I return to Sharm. Il Mercato from the Old Town is a 20-minute walk at a leisurely pace, 5 minutes by blue minibus, they go often. The cost from the Old City to the police station is 1 pound, which is 0.05$ (the exchange rate on 12/25/17 was 17.77 pounds for 1$). If you go to the gas station (they call it "gasoline") you will pay 1.5 pounds ($ 0.08), to the Farsha cafe 2 pounds. We took a taxi from Nabq to the Hadaba area for $ 4 (these are two opposite ends of Sharm). Seafood is the freshest and cheapest on a short street near the mosque in the Old City. Right on the street there is a counter with all kinds of fish and shrimp. They can cook there in three ways: boil, grill and batter. Very tasty and fast. We took king prawns and eel. Ready in 30 minutes, packed. You can eat right in the park on a bench, pick up your room or pay $ 5 and sit in a nearby restaurant. The price is $10-12 per kg.

15-20 minutes walk, focus on the mosque. We took a $1 taxi back. Prices in the old town are indeed much lower.

Fruit was taken where necessary at a ridiculous price. They were very cheap everywhere, even in the supermarket, even in any shop on the street. Tangerines 6 pounds, pomegranate 10-12 pounds, mango $ 1, strawberries 15 pounds per kg., Guava 14 pounds, huge red pepper 5 pounds in the store, Hibiscus tea 85 pounds in the store and spices in the same place.

Physalis, dates, guava are in season. I don’t understand ours, to choke on strawberries, which we will have in a couple of months and ignore fruits that we don’t have. I just ate physalis there

About guava: as you like, so be it. Like our pears or apples - someone peels, someone eats with a peel

I tried kumquats for the first time in December .... I didn’t like them - they are very sour, but there’s nothing to compare with - maybe it wasn’t the season yet ....

why she asked about guava - we ate like apples ... then she began to notice that the Europeans looked askance at us strangely ... I watched - they cut the guava into 2 parts with a knife and eat the pulp (with seeds) with a spoon, and leave the rest .... .

Kumquat is a tin, what a sour horror))) it must be chewed with the peel and swallowed immediately))) It is very useful for smokers and with bronchitis - it clears the bronchi. The people ate it in basins, but we couldn’t even eat one)

You are presenting physalis here, as if exotic. It is also perfectly grown in our latitudes, in fact, just a kind of tomato.

And what are "your latitudes", let me know? We (Ukraine) have a rather tomato country, so I have not seen such (physalis) varieties .. And the fact that they help in "losing weight" .... is possible! But there is a simpler recipe - you need to eat half a bucket less!

"Our latitudes" are approximately common, I do not take into account the extreme north))). Single gardeners grow it, on an industrial scale, apparently, no one eats it. It tastes like sweet tomatoes, for an amateur.
