You can only buy alcohol within 48 hours upon arrival. Upon presentation of a passport. A maximum of 1 liter of alcohol per person. And the most barbaric thing is that for each liter you have to pay a $ 13 tax on top
Well, if you're used to serving in Egypt. That's not bad. If you can't, then you can for money. If according to the rules. Then you still need to pay extra.
Expensive. Very.
And so the prices are more expensive than in the Russian Tape or CiB. (Compared on Laphroig 10) here it is 78 dollars.
So there is also a TAX! 1% on each purchase, but not less than $ 13.
The tax to the duty-free shop is generally a wonderful idea that does not cause dissonance, and when you are asked for $ 28 for a $ 15 bottle, you somehow want to answer this, mostly with expletives called the chess term "mate".
I strongly do not recommend it. Come only if you have not brought it from home, it is impossible to drink local, and rest without a normal drink is not rest.
The choice is normal, almost all of the alcohol and cigarettes are there. Cigarettes are cheap. And for each bottle of alcohol, you have to pay an additional $ 13. The employees who stand behind you and listen to what we are talking about are outraged. They follow each other at a distance of a bent arm, looking at what you are looking at. They don't do any good, just annoyance.
The staff is polite and attentive. But the new law, a $13 tax on each bottle, ruined the store's rating.
We have been traveling to Sharm for 10 years and worked out a trip route so as not to carry bottles at the airport, we always went to Duty Free on arrival. They didn't know anything about the tax (they didn't prepare), as a result, they took $ 40 and paid 82. When I came to the room, I counted everything again and returned back to the store, where they explained about the tax to me.
And it all happened because some very smart entrepreneurs who manage excursions, bring people by bus, collect alcohol according to their (newly arrived) passports, and then hand over this alcohol to local restaurants three times a day. Dutch Free was offended by this and wrote such a law. 🤷♂️
So this year I drank the most expensive champagne in my life 😁
The location of the fire. There are a lot of tourists. There is enough choice. The prices are reasonable. The product itself is also normal, at least the one we bought.
Oborzeli , after 48 hours after arrival , the tax is 13 dollars per liter of import

We forgot to take our passport, of course they didn't sell us alcohol. It is impossible to drink strong (free) drinks at the hotel. Poisoning is possible from them.....take alcohol at the airport in advance
Attention! This is not a Duty free store. This is an ordinary "drunk" with inflated prices. There are prices on the bottles, but the seller recalculates them in his own way, adding tax. The information that we arrived 30 hours ago does not matter. The answer is one: this is a new law. The result: the price of alcohol is higher than in Moscow
I do not recommend visiting. Deception.
More expensive than other alcohol markets, local alcohol is cheap, imported with a margin of $ 13 for each bottle , I do not advise, it is cheaper nearby
