Dress respectfully for mosque visits
Wear shoulders- and knee-covering clothing and have a scarf on hand for women; shoes may be removed for mosque entry.
Bring sun protection and water
Carry a reusable water bottle and sunscreen—street shade is limited and coastal sun is strong year-round.
Comfortable shoes for cobbles
Expect short stretches on uneven pavement in the Old Market—closed-toe walking shoes reduce slips and blisters.
Carry small change for bargaining
Have smaller bills and coins handy for souvenirs and local vendors to speed transactions and support local sellers.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential in Sharm’s sun, and water refill options are usually available at stops.
