TL;DR
From nearby hotels, turn left and walk along the pavement for about 15–20 minutes without crossing the road. Look for the large parking lot in front of Senzo Mall.
Alternative route: exit the hotel, cross the road, then walk left for 7–10 minutes. Landmark is a roundabout and a metal fence, behind which is the parking lot; the mall itself is brightly lit and impossible to miss.
Turn left straight out of the hotel (no need to cross the road) and walk about 80 metres — it's the first shop on this route; staff give good discounts when totaling your purchase, and vitamins are cheaper here than at the pharmacy right by the hotel.
Mangoes are sold near the hotel: red ones for $2 and green ones for $1 per kilogram. Didn't try bargaining, so the price might be lower.
Directly across the road from the hotel barrier is a shop called 'Irina' with a wide selection — a handy alternative when the hotel shop is out of something.
Flip-flops (coral shoes) can be bought for $8 for 2 pairs: exit the hotel, cross the road and walk about 100 metres.
Turning right out of the hotel, you'll find a pharmacy, small shops and children's rides along the way — the area feels lively, not deserted.
Shops in the area are nearly empty during the day — people head out after dinner. An evening walk to the Old Market and back is quite comfortable.
A small two-storey shop is 3–5 minutes from the old reception: exit and turn right, walk along the hotel towards the centre. Ground floor sells groceries, upper floor has clothes and souvenirs. Fridges with water and ice cream stand outside the entrance — easy to spot.
Walk along the left side of the road from your hotel without crossing — there are fewer shops on that side, making it easier to stay on track.
The walk to Senzo Mall takes about 15–20 minutes at a leisurely pace. Turn left out of the hotel, follow the pavement, and look for the large parking lot as a landmark.
Along the route there is a Mango Market, located past the Grand Hotel. Note that some shops in the area only accept Egyptian pounds — cards may not be accepted.
