Book it
We booked this trip through GetYourGuide, and it was excellent value for money. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and thoroughly enjoyed all three locations we visited. The trip was very well organised, and our guides, Muhammad and Eissa, were extremely attentive and knowledgeable. They genuinely made sure that no one was left out. We booked our holiday through easyJet, and our travel rep told us on the first day that no one could guarantee entry into Farsha Café. However, these guys had everything so well organised. Despite visiting three different locations, the timings were spot on. When we arrived at Farsha Café, we went straight to the top floor and had a drink while the guides organised our tickets for the lower floors. We had a younger child who wasn’t old enough to go down, so Eissa stayed with us while my husband went down with our eldest. This was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience much easier for us. We were also looking at booking some other excursions, so we asked Eissa for his recommendations. He gave us an honest opinion and recommendation and helped us book another excursion. There was absolutely no pressure, and it was actually a little cheaper than booking through the apps, with the added personal touch of having someone we trusted arrange it for us. On the way back to the hotel, Muhammad pointed out places for us to visit and even shared his personal pizza with us! Both guides were genuinely lovely people and really made our time memorable. There needs to be more Eissas and Muhammads in the world! The free water and snacks were an added bonus too. Thank you, Muhammad and Eissa, for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Sharm El Sheikh!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review 🙏

Excellent private tour!
Private, tailored and super informative. Our private guide Zanaty was very knowledgeable and so much fun. We learnt loads about the history, were given plenty of time to explore both with the guide and alone. Nothing was rushed, our air conditioned car always waiting for us, all the transfers were super easy. Zanaty sources for us all we needed and gave us great tips. Truly wonderful afternoon and evening well worth it. The tour was just for us so extra special service.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such lovely review 🙏

Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour?
+
Included: Tour guide; Farsha Mountain Café; Visit to Al Sahaba Mosque; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Walk through the Old Market (Souk). Not included: Any extras not mentioned in the program. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour include hotel pickup?

What languages is Old Market and Farsha Cafe tour offered in?
+
