While having shopping in South Sinai, you should remember that it is a touristic place. Locals earn a lot of money because of the tourists. If you want to buy something, be ready to bargain and watch the seller carefully. If you have only large banknotes, you should first ask the seller to prepare the change, and only then give your money for the goods. The fact is that if you do not, the seller can "accidentally" replace your banknote, using the fact that the money is all very similar, and then claim that you gave them to him. The second kind of unfair trade is to declare after receiving the money that five pounds is only for half of the goods, and everything will cost ten.

Shopping in Egypt
The art of bargaining is well-developed In Egypt, but it is only practiced on street markets and in small shops. Here there are no cash registers, so sellers are always happy to bargain. There is an opinion that an Egyptian vendor is able to determine the tourist's well-being by his/her look. If things you need are overpriced, do not give up. If the seller notices a lack of interest, the price will be immediately reduced. The prices of goods depend on the location: at resorts and in areas close to hotels, they are much higher than on bazaars. In Egypt, there are no fixed prices, so the cost of buying often depends on the ability to bargain. Don't want to overpay? Do not buy souvenirs in places advised by taxi drivers.
