The best places to go shopping in Hurghada are a mix of bustling traditional souks, souvenir shops and high-end speciality stores. The souks are where you’ll get the best prices, but you’ll have to negotiate for them. If you prefer to avoid the haggling, visit one of the city’s fixed-price stores.
From locally made crafts to international luxury brands, there’s a wide range of products on offer. The city’s shopping centres provide a great place to shop with the family, while promenades offer a leisurely, open-air shopping and dining experience. Here are some of the best places to go shopping in Hurghada.

A beloved local food market
Ideal para: Compras, Econômico, Alimentação
Situated in Hurghada’s old town, El Dahar Bazars is first and foremost a marketplace where locals come to do their food shopping. In the heart of the market, gourds and bananas hang over boxes of fresh vegetables, and butchers prepare fresh cuts for sale. Stock up on spices and get a taste of local produce like the ashta, a fruit also known as a cherimoya or custard apple, which you’ll recognise by its scaly green skin and custardy flesh.
Encircling the marketplace are tourist-oriented shops selling copper lamps, leather goods and glass shisha pipes. Be sure to haggle for a fair price; you can usually aim to halve the seller’s first offer.
