Where to buy a cheap suitcase in Hurghada, and is there a duty-free shop at the airport?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 4 days ago
TL;DR
For a basic one-way-flight suitcase, check Senzo Mall or the Dahar old market (roughly 300–800 EGP) rather than tourist shops. Hurghada airport does have a duty-free zone, though the selection is smaller than in Sharm el-Sheikh.
What the community said
On duty-free for arrivals: Hurghada airport does have a duty-free zone like Sharm el-Sheikh, but the range and prices are more limited — mostly alcohol, perfume, and electronics, rarely suitcases.

Clarifying the suitcase request: look for an actual luggage store, not souvenir shops. Senzo Mall has dedicated luggage stores with fixed prices starting around 300 EGP for a basic model.

As an alternative to Senzo Mall and the Dahar market, the Carrefour hypermarket in Hurghada also sells budget suitcases at fixed no-haggle prices, handy for a quick purchase before your flight.
