Map
-
The old market operates daily, typically from early morning until late at night, making it easy to fit into almost any travel schedule. Evening visits are particularly popular, as the market comes alive with lights, music, and a lively atmosphere that feels entirely different from the daytime bustle.
-
The market offers an impressive variety of goods, from hand-carved wooden souvenirs and Egyptian cotton products to spices, perfume oils, silver jewelry, and traditional clothing. It is one of the best places in Sharm El Sheikh to find authentic, locally made gifts at prices that are far more reasonable than resort boutiques — just be ready to negotiate.
-
Absolutely. The area surrounding the market is packed with casual eateries and traditional restaurants serving everything from fresh seafood and grilled meats to Egyptian street food classics like koshary and falafel. It is the kind of place where a quick bite can easily turn into a long, memorable meal.
-
Yes, the old market area is home to a well-known local mosque that adds a distinct cultural and architectural character to the neighborhood. Visitors are welcome to admire it from the outside, and it serves as a wonderful reminder that this market is not just a tourist destination — it is a living, breathing part of the local community.
-
Late afternoon to early evening is generally considered the best time to visit, as the heat of the day has passed and the market is buzzing with both locals and travelers. If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds, a morning visit gives you the chance to explore at your own pace and have more relaxed conversations with the vendors.
