About this experience
Remember the Egyptian papyrus from history textbooks at school? And the array of jewelry and spices on the stalls of Agrabah in 'Aladdin'? I invite you to go where the magical tales of the East become reality! I will guide you through the Old Market in the heart of Sharm el-Sheikh, help you choose Egyptian cotton and oils, sweets and souvenirs. And no hustling: with me, it will be comfortable and safe.
What to expect
Sharm el-Sheikh's Old Market is conveniently located around the central square of the city and its dominant feature, the El-Sahaba Mosque, which will remind you of an eastern palace. We will explore the landmark, take photos, and touch upon the city's history. Approaching the main purpose of our meeting, we will talk about Egypt's crafts and goods.

On our walk through the market, I will be your guide: with me, you will avoid persistent hustlers, and I can offer advice or help you haggle at any time.
Sweets, spices, oils, Egyptian cotton, papyrus, items made of camel and crocodile leather, embossed vessels, dishes with Arabic motifs, jewelry - the Old Market will offer you authentic Egyptian souvenirs and goods for every taste and budget!
