Souk

Souk is a unique Egyptian/Moroccan style market place and it is perfect for traditional shopping. In New Hurghada Marina you will find a selection of the finest hand-crafted items such as fashion accessories, a big variety of bags, different designs of belly dance costumes, beautiful dresses, perfumes, spices and souvenirs. You will certainly find something to remind you of your holiday by the Red Sea.

Shopping

Without doubt, it is the bazaars that offer the widest selection of local crafts and artefacts, while designer goods can be found in the larger stores. But to experience the true shopping experience in Luxor, as well as Hurghada and Marsa Alam, head for the bazaars along the coast roads. Here, traditional souvenirs like copper ware, brasses, rugs and carpets, crafts such as glass vases and little perfume bottles, leatherwear such as belts and sandals, and handmade jewellery can be found, along with masses of colourful textiles. Most bazaars will have stalls selling herbs and spices like cloves, saffron and turmeric, which give them their characteristic aroma.
