Is mango in season in Hurghada now, and can you find it in hotels or supermarkets?

Based on 2 discussions with 9 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago

TL;DR

Travelers report that in late June to early July, mango season in Hurghada is only just starting: you can find ripe fruit, but availability is inconsistent. Many hotels currently have little or no mango or watermelon, and even supermarkets like Spinneys do not always have good-quality mango yet.

What the community said

In early July, guests at Rixos report fruit buffets with apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, peaches, and kiwi, but no mango or watermelon. Melon and pineapple appear only occasionally, so hotels are not a reliable source for mango right now.

Recent feedback says hotels this season offer fewer fruits than last year: mostly apples, oranges, and dates, with occasional grapes or melon. Bananas run out quickly, and mango is rarely available.

At the start of July, travelers note that hotel fruit selection is much weaker than last year: instead of papaya, plums, or mango, they mostly see oranges, apples, and dates. This suggests mango season has not fully kicked in yet.

By late June, some travelers were getting watermelon at hotel dinners roughly every other day, but no mango at all. They also said Spinneys did not yet have consistently good mango, so supermarket availability is still hit-or-miss.

Some visitors feel fruit quality in Hurghada is currently underwhelming even in well-known places like Ali Baba, including mango. If you plan to buy fruit, it is better to inspect each piece carefully rather than buying the first ones you see.

By late June, travelers were already able to find ripe, tasty mango, but good fruit disappears quickly and some pieces spoil in the heat. A practical tip is to shop earlier in the day before the best fruit is picked over or sits too long in the sun.

Fresh mango and strawberry juices are already being sold, with one reported price around $3 per cup. This shows mango is already reaching the market, although not everyone is impressed with the taste yet.

The earliest reports here say that by late June mango in Hurghada was already improving, and some travelers specifically felt the season was beginning. At this stage, you can find good fruit, but supply is not abundant or consistent yet.
