TL;DR
Mango is available at Carrefour (Hurghada City Centre mall), Fix Price, Mango Market, and Gomla market. Fix Price is cheaper than Mango Market. The best varieties appear from late July.
At Gomla market, mango prices range from 35 to 70 EGP per kg (about USD 0.5–1.5). Cash in EGP only; Union Pay cards from Rosselkhozbank are accepted.
Mango Market offers a free shuttle transfer (minibus there, car back) regardless of purchase amount. The shop is small, selling souvenirs and sweets at fixed prices. A Rosselkhozbank card was not accepted there.
Fresh mango was already being sold in Hurghada in early July, so the season appears to start earlier than just late July.
Another place to buy mango is Cleopatra supermarket; reports say its selection and pricing are similar to Mango Market.
Street fruit stalls were selling mango for about USD 2 per kilogram; 1 kg came to roughly 4 medium yellow mangoes.
At local shops such as Mix Market and TM Market, mango was available from 45 EGP per kilogram.
Spinneys received a fresh mango delivery — one box was displayed near the fig and fruit section, with additional sealed boxes alongside. Price was 45 EGP per kilogram (the store app shows this price per 500 g, so verify at checkout).
Gomla market has fresh mangoes available — interestingly, the smallest ones were the priciest. A good spot to compare sizes and prices.
Mango can be bought in boxes (suitable for taking home) at Fix Price and Mango Market — no need to travel to a separate market.
Large yellow-orange mangoes with a pink blush weigh 600–800 g each. Small orange-red mangoes, slightly bigger than an apricot, are also very tasty. Both varieties typically appear from late July.
Mango Market has a rare, premium large-variety mango with a thin pit — very sweet and juicy. Prices there are noticeably higher than at Fix Price.
Mango Market is significantly more expensive than Fix Price. For budget shopping, Fix Price is the better choice.
