Food Delivery for Expats & Long-Stay Visitors in Sharm El Sheikh

Living in Sharm El Sheikh long-term? This guide covers food delivery, grocery ordering, and eating well as a resident or long-stay visitor.

If you're staying in Sharm for weeks or months, Bringit becomes part of your weekly routine. Here's how to use it like a local.

Sharm El Sheikh has a significant expat and long-stay population — Russians, Europeans, divers, remote workers, and retirees who've fallen in love with the city and never quite left. If you're among them, or planning an extended stay, food delivery via Bringit quickly becomes part of your daily routine. Here's how to use it effectively.

Building Your Regular Order List

Within a few weeks of living in Sharm, most expats establish 4–6 restaurants they order from regularly. A typical rotation might include: a koshari shop for budget weekday lunches, a pizza place for weekend evenings, a grilled chicken restaurant for healthy meals, and Bmart for weekly grocery restocking.

Grocery Delivery for Self-Catering Apartments

Bmart — the grocery arm of Bringit — is essential for expats in self-catering apartments. Weekly orders of fresh produce, eggs, dairy, bread, and cleaning supplies save significant time. Stock up on water (1.5L bottles in packs) regularly — tap water is not safe to drink and running out is annoying.

Cost Management Tips for Long-Stay Visitors

• Eat Egyptian food 3–4 times per week — it's significantly cheaper and very good
• Use Bmart for pantry staples and order restaurant food when you don't want to cook
• Avoid delivery fees by grouping orders — one larger order instead of two smaller ones
• Take advantage of Bringit app promotions and restaurant discounts
• Cook some meals at home — basic groceries from Bmart make this easy and cheap
