 Aboudy Bookshop by Angelal
Here you will find a selection of both Egyptian and foreign newspapers (English/German/French) all at a fixed price. Amr is the name of the guy that runs the shop, very pleasant, very young and already a Hajj. There are a great selection of English Novels as well as Egyptian related literature such as as the works of the Nobel prize winner Naguib Mahfouz .
Here you will find a beautiful selection of books in regards to Ancient Egypt and the modern culture as well as Middle Eastern Cookery books. This is also loads of Postcards to choose from and other odds and ends such as bookmarks, pens and keyrings.
If you are visiting Egypt with children there are some beautiful childrens books about Egypt that will make learning about Egypt fun as well as pop-up books and colouring books.
Everything in the shop is fixed price and set at European prices, this is well worth it for the selection on offer and the peace and quiet that you will find here.
Childrens books about Egypt, Egypt Today -monthly magazine, Egyptian cookery books
Everything is fixed price and in line with European prices Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: Corniche El NileDirections: As you look at the New Winter Palace, Aboudy is directly to the left.

If you are like shopping but like me want to leave Egypt with a little more than a stuffed camel then visit this Gallery.
It is right next to Le Meridian Hotel and features the work of Egyptian Artists.
There are the most gorgeous water colour paintings of local scenes that are uniques yet contemporary.
I also spotted the most gorgeous pot that looked rather like a huge Aladdin lamb with extracts from the Koran etched in Silver.
Water colour and pastel drawings.
The cheapest painting starts at about 500LE Leave a Comment Theme: ArtAddress: Sharia Khaled ibn al-waledDirections: Right next to Le Meridian hotel. You can't miss it!

 Alabaster demonstration by Myndo
In most of the factories where these stone items come from, they will give you a short introduction into how they are done.
It is interesting, because hey also show you how some fake the granit-figures by making them heavier (those are not cared stone, but cement like things with old iron parts in it). Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

Say to him "fiskekaka!" And that you were tipped by a norwegian girl? Your price wil come further down ;)

This is the government shop. The prices are fixed (execpt for a small bakshish for wrapping the goods)
Egyptian cotton is renowned !
I went to a shop and asked for a large towel (100 % egyptian cotton). I didn't want any ''souvenirs" on the towel, just pure white.
The shop owner (and more shops) told me that is was impossible to find in Luxor. But... he could find one for 22 euros. I just had to come by the next day. Back at the hotel, I asked where I could buy white towels. The receptionist told me to go to the government store. I did, and found beautiful, very large, 100% pure egyptian white towels for .... 24 egyptian pounds a piece. Leave a Comment Theme: Discount Store

 The top of the papyrus plant by ATXtraveler
This picture is of the top of the papyrus plant before it becomes art!
Definitely a nice picture of Ramses or Hatshetsup on Papyrus paper
From $10 US to 800, depending on the art at the end. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Khaled Ibn El Walid, LuxorPhone: 095-371263

On the second deck there was a small shop where it was possible to buy souvenirs, clothes and gifts. However the prices in this shop were high enough in comparison with the prices which bazaars had. Therefore few tourists bought the goods there.
Cabins were settled down on three decks. The restaurant and the bar were located on the third deck. In the same place there was a big dancing hall and big TV receiver. The team of the ship has shown us a concert with dances and songs there in one of the evenings. Theme: Gifts
