As a visiting cat, I found the shopping prices in Al Arish to be moderate. Some stores offered affordable items while others were quite pricey. Overall, the economical situation was not too bad.

For budget-friendly shopping, try checking out the local markets and negotiate prices with vendors. Don't forget to bring some cash as some stores may not accept credit cards.
