Khan el-Khalili Bazaar
Off Hussein Square, (Across from El Azhar Mosque), Cairo, EgyptTel: Not available
A retreat from the sun in summer, in milder winter temperatures it's even easier to lose a day wandering this this sprawling market. It exudes a truly amazing atmosphere with its labyrinth of bustling alleys lined with merchants displaying traditional crafts. Most of the shop fronts conceal cramped workshops, where craftsmen still produce lanterns, inlaid boxes, waterpipes and brassware using traditional techniques. Beware though—merchants here are masters at the art of haggling, and even the locals joke that they can never get local prices. Cash is definitely preferred here, but some vendors accept credit cards.

- A good place to find anything needed as a gift
- You must not accept the price given the 1st time around
“I loved shopping at the Kahn I did buy gold that was better workmanship that most and you get that by the gram so just know the price of gold before you go shopping. I found most of the other items can be found almost anywhere. Be sure that you get Egyptian made items some are made in china.”
