Of the Egyptian holiday destinations, Sharm El Sheikh is the most popular. This is due to both the advantageous geographical position of the resort and the relatively good service.

However, the prices for entertainment and store contents are much higher than other resort oases, there are almost no branded items.

They can only be purchased at a few locations. First of all, these are Duty Free shops. There are only four of them in the city: at the airport, two shops in the tourist area of Naama Bay and a shop in the Old City market.

Another feature of the resort is that it is possible to use Duty Free only during the day upon arrival on vacation and with the obligatory presentation of a passport. There are other liquor stores, but there are few of them; VAT on purchases there is not refundable.
