Although it’s not really ‘Old’ or a ‘Market’ as such it is still definitely worth visiting. Plenty of shops and restaurants all around the Mosque and great for photos too. Some of it is quite new with some smaller older streets around the back. You do get the constant barrage of invites to come inside the shops but just ignore them and keep walking. It’s just the way they are, no harm meant. The replicas are not that cheap anymore so prepare to haggle with everything.

Came back after first visit in 2013. When the Mosque was just been build The place has changed for the better l think. Yes you have your endless souvenirs shops and the owners doing there best to intice you in. But l never came across any over aggressive owners that others seem to come across. Visit with an open mind One shop l definately recommend my mobile died on me l took into the Vodafone Galaxy Shop he got it working again basically it was not charging He took it to bits cleaned it up only charge 10 US Dollars

Not really anything old or market about this place. A recently built square of tourist shops and cafes. Nice way to spend a couple of hours but we had a long taxi ride and I wouldn't recommend it unless you were close by. Nothing like an old Egyptian Market, I've been to quite a few. There's a recently built mosque which is quite impressive.

Lots of old shops with prices for tourists. I was hoping it’s gonna be in a style of Grand Bazar in Istanbul where you have the atmosphere of the real old market and you can get some unique things and hand made jewelry, but no. This was not like that. Only 2 interesting things are - old mosque that looks unusual. And something looking like a little mountain with fake waterfall where you can get drinks and it gives you some Arabic vibe.

We visited the market and Mosque as part ot a TUI Sharm Tour. A lovely setting as darkness falls. Lots of stalls and shops selling loccal wares. We were also able to go inside the Mosque.

More of a new old market, feels like a nice tourist stop. I'd say 3 or 4 out of 5, depending on what you expect. I liked it more than my daughter, for a quick walk around. Best prices on holiday mementos, compared to our hotel. Depending on how YOU interact with people is how you will find the Old Market. I am not afraid to haggle, or say no, or just keep walking. We bought a few bits and pieces in a shop from someone called Michael, lovely and relaxed, sensible prices. A wide range of Egypt/Sharm fridge magnets etc etc, other shops had more traditional looking Egyptian pieces but with a mass produced feel. Fake clothing brands, leather goods and Rolex were on offer. The modern Mosque, and water feature stand out. Tips - I booked a car from my hotel to the market, prices for a cab caught locally were significantly cheaper. The driver of the cab from my hotel offered to pick us up again, and dropped us at a store (Aladdin's) for a sales pitch. I spoke to a local cab driver at the market, and he offered the same journey (to Soho Square) for less than a third of the hotel's cab service. I had bought a local sim card (Vodafone) at the airport and used this for data, the taxi driver dropped us at Soho Square, and we arranged a pick up time for collection via WhatsApp. Simple, effective, cost efficient. Be aware of your surroundings, and remember you are a source of income for the locals, and some will treat you fairly, and others will try to take advantage. The Old Market was only about two miles from our hotel, worth a quick visit, pick up a few holiday trinkets, and get a few photos. We didn't eat here, always consider carefully where to eat, and what to drink away from your hotel, nobody wants a dodgy holiday belly. Be sensible, stay safe, haggle!

We had an amazing experience at The Old Market! The place is absolutely beautiful centred around the incredible Sahaba Mosque which is a must visit location in Sharm El Sheikh! The shop keepers were friendly they did ask you to come and look in their shops but a polite No Thank You and we were left alone! I managed to pick up a large sized mosaic lamp and 5 other gifts for family from pyramids shop in the centre for the reasonable Price of £43 GBP! While we were here we ate at Andrea’s/ Onions and the service and quality of food was very good!

We visited twice that's how much we loved Old Market. First time we took a taxi and went during the day and returned Early evening. During the day the place is very quiet and you'll stick out like a sore thumb so you'll get the shop owners wanting you to enter their shops which I didn't like so we politely refused. Second visit was in the evening and took the bus which was a fraction of the price. Thoroughly enjoyed it and we stayed till past midnight where the place was still beaming with families and children playing so felt very safe. Plenty of fake designer shops, souvenir shops and can buy pretty much anything here. To enter the mosque you need to covered, please respect other religions. There is a small room to the side of the mosque where men and women can borrow long robes and scarf (free) if you want to tour the inside of the mosque, however, this isn't allowed during prayer times. Further down there is a waterfall feature on side of a mountain thing which you can walk up and take pictures, this is really beautiful especially around sunset. Would highly recommend visiting Old Market.

We visited The Old Market 3 times during our trip. We had excellent service from everyone. All the shop staff were friendly and extremely helpful..We never felt pushed into any purchase. Excellent value for money. The temple is breathtaking and you can't help but be in awe of it while standing looking up at the amazing workmanship. It can get extremely hot, even at night so take a fan and water with you. We got our taxi from our hotel and they had fixed prices and dropped and picked up at a Friendly shop called "friends" guys working there are lovely and look after you . Highly recommend a visit
