Visit this wonderful market to see the buzz of Egyptian shops. Name a thing you would like to buy and you will find it. The colour adds to the retail therapy. Bargain hard. Go for cheaper items not worrying g about quality.

Khan Al-Khalili is an attempt at the old timey bazaars the mid east is famous for however it has become so affected by tourism that anyone who looks like a tourist risks having a not so fun time. It's basically a bunch of back alleys where local egyptians are trying to make a living selling perfume oil, perfume bottles, pyramids,... More

Simple Arabic phrases help in talking to stall owners,... More

Prepare lots of EGP pound when you come here. They have great shops for shisha, arafat, lamps, and souvenirs. Don't forget to bargain as they usually put the price two times higher. Great place to experience the traditional market.

Very large bazaar full of friendly and funny shop vendors. Rivals the bazaar in Istanbul in size and selection. As opposed to the shop keepers in Luxor or Aswan, since the drop in tourism post-2011, these middle class shop keepers are still as friendly as always and happy to chat up as well as sell. Go in with an attitude... More
