    Bustling Market in

    On a few occasions during my stay I found myself wondering a local market, not sure of the name, but I am sure there are similar markets throughout Alexandria.

    They were alive, with local people doing their shopping, men sitting outside cafes smoking their "hubbly bubblies", shop keepers trying to encourage you into to buy their goods.

    This was really fun and I found some gret bargains here.

    Anything from food, to gold and jewellery.

    Try a nd bater your price.

    local open markets: Public shopping.

  • It's a public Souq.
    It represents a true pic about the status of a considerable number of the Egyptian people, who buy everything for thier life from this market.

    Fruits, vegitables, desserts, food , animals and everything.

    It's clear that you are going to pay less than any other place.

  • You can find cheap buys at Citadel in Alex. They offer cheap souveniers. Found to be cheaper then Cairo.

    Souveniers

    Prepare to bargain. Say half the price for everything they tell you.

    The SOUQ as they call it is the market where you can find everithing you need ... from old watches to fresh fruits and groceries ...

    As a tourist you pay more than a local but prices are still ok!
