Everything would be fine, but I was surprised by the fact that when buying alcohol in the city (not at the airport), $ 13 is added to the price. I do not recall such a thing being done before
In general, they came and went. And so everything is beautifully neat. The staff is polite.
It's hard to find, the assortment is weak, + a tax has been imposed (something from 13% to at least 13 dollars) on each purchase. As a recommendation, pack up at the Departure Airport.
Good evening! Look carefully at the change!! They shoved 50 dollars with some kind of squiggle. And they didn't give 3 dollars! But the alcohol is real.
In Sharma there is a Duty Free on SOHO Square. The advantage is that you can buy alcohol two days after arrival on a foreign passport.The choice is certainly not the same as at the airport, but there is a little bit of everything. Price tags are misleading.When I chose the product, they make another 15% cheat at the checkout. As a result, the price becomes less attractive. If you don't want to drink local drinks at the hotel, shop at the airport, or take them from home. But!!! The drinks in the hotel are not even bad.There is everything vodka, whiskey, brandy, rum, tequila, red and white wine, beer.
It's a rip-off, but it's the only place where you can buy normal alcohol. At the same time, you can buy it only within 48 hours after arrival, then you can no longer. You need a passport to buy it, they put a stamp on it. Conditions: on top of 1% tax per liter, but not less than $ 13. That is, 1 bottle of whiskey instead of $ 23 will cost $ 36…
The cost of drinks is too high, but in general you can take it. There is something to choose from. But they breed for money. At the shelves with alcohol, they say that the prices are fixed and correspond to the price tags, but at the checkout it turns out that you have to pay another tax of 13% per bottle, depending on the cost. Having a stamp in a passport with a period of less than 48 hours does not help. I recommend leaving alcohol in this case and trying to leave. If there are no or few people in the store, the tax can be forgiven

In general, a good Duty, but there is an Egyptian misfortune- there is no price tag on almost all goods and prices are indicated in euros, dollars a little crumpled do not want to accept and grimace at the sight of them, the price is too high for all goods like this is Duty Free! There are no questions about the placement of goods - everything is beautiful ...
Of the main disadvantages - there is no drinking water, I had to buy elsewhere, but for alcoholics this is a real paradise
