 | Cairo Khan el Khalili Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
If you r in Cairo then you will not miss the khan el Khalili area in Al Hussien district.
It use to be a center for commercial and trade interactions and the architecture of the place will show you this. Now it is still used for the same purpose but with different looks and type of goods.
You will go shopping, walking, eating, drinking, smoking shisha and my favorite is watching the different groups of people coming from all over Egypt and abroad in this area.
The mosques (Al Hussien) is one very important religious site for many Egyptians. They go there to pray and get the blessings of Al hussien who is the relative of the muslim prophet Mohammad.
Due to the 100s of years of trade theat included herbs and essance, the place has its unique smell that you might get addicted to.
Outside the mosques wear what you want but not very short so to avoid the parasetic touches of the kids and the big kids.
If you are planning to visit the mosques where the shrine is inside, then make sure to wear conservative clothes under your knees and ladies should get a hair cover as a respect for the place. Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingAddress: Alhussein area

El Fishawy is the mirrors cafe. Have seat and a tea and just see people walking. It is inside the Khan El Khalili, so tell your "friend" to go there and invite him to a drink. Get a table outside, much better. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Well, I suppose it's not precisely nightlife...but it certainly is a kind of nightlife...Khan-al-khalili: a multi-acre covered bazaar. It goes for streets on end, ancient, winding, narrow, cobbled walkways in which you will get lost, found, and lost again. I went with Egyptian friends and had a wonderful time. It reminded me--of all places--of the old city in Jerusalem. It is exotic, filled with unusual scents, stenches, views of a lifetime, accidents waiting to happen, and experiences you won't long forget. But you must surrender yourself to the place and just allow yourself to follow your spirit, or 'a' spirit, or even just follow your nose to the closest cooking meat or fruit vendor. The people are very friendly, the beggars inevitable, and the experience, incomparable. This wonderful photo is NOT MINE.

A very cool coffee shop located in the Khan al-Khalili and frequented by locals and tourists alike. Great place to grab a coffee and a shisha and people watch. Supposedly has been open for 24 hours a day for the past 200 years, though we found it closed one day. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Khan al-Khalili, just one block in off Midan Hussein
