Helpfulness
Right outside Al Anba Bishoy Monastery there's a little row of shopos: one sells food (possibly to the monastery), one sells olives (possibly grown by the monks) and another - the largest - sells beautiful crafts made by the monks... religious craft as well as some pieces of home furniture - all carved in wood and richly decorated.

What to pay: about 100 dollars
