The Sharm El Sheikh Old Market, commonly referred to as Souk Rifki, is a bustling traditional market located in the heart of Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. Situated just inland from the Naama Bay area, it offers visitors an authentic glimpse into local culture, complete with handcrafted goods, spices, clothing and regional food. The market blends Arabian charm with tourist-friendly amenities, making it a popular stop for both day-trippers and holidaymakers.
The Old Market is typically open every day from 9:00 to 22:00, though individual stalls may vary. It’s most lively in the late afternoon and evening when the temperature cools and ambient lighting enhances the traditional atmosphere. For the best experience, we recommend visiting after sunset when the market is fully illuminated and buzzing with activity.
Absolutely. The market features several authentic Egyptian and Middle Eastern eateries, serving dishes such as koshari, falafel, shawarma, and grilled meats. You’ll also find juice bars offering fresh fruit beverages like mango and hibiscus. For dessert, indulge in sweet treats like baklava or kunafa. Many stalls cater to international tastes, and halal options are widely available.
Yes, the Old Market is family-friendly and offers a culturally enriching experience for all ages. Children will enjoy the colourful stalls, sweets, and occasional live music or belly dancing performances. However, the market can get busy, so it’s advisable to keep a close eye on younger ones, especially during peak hours.
