I have difficulty pronouncing the name of this place. Its never good enough for the locals - I lack drama in my pronounciation. What to do , I am Asian (smile)
BUT, I do have the neck for shopping and lots of energy which is the main criteria right next to cash and the patience to bargain. And bargain you need. Many things at Khan, and theres never enough time. From belly dancing suit to t-shirt, to Pharaonic paraphenilia, all you need is cash. And you wont be short of praises too. You're alway beautiful to the eyes of the vendors- thats a method to get you to stop by their shops.
Papyrus stuff, wall pictures, book marks, etc - because you cant get this stuff anywhere else.
Perfume, nice bottles but dont pay too much for it. Try some and go shop awhile to see if it last. If it does and you like it, go back and buy it.
Bargain and you will know. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

In Egypt, whether you are buying fresh fruits, vegetables to souvenirs..you will really have to bargain because that's part of their tradition already...a bit of adventure for them... :)
I used to ask half of the real price..and that's when the fight begins... GOODLUCK.. Theme: Local Craft

Khan El Khalili is a local souvenir market where all tourists must visit. Lots of nice souvenirs to take back home with you BUT you got to be smart about it. Sales men will always try and get your attention and sell you in a very annoying way.
Papyrus artwork, jewelry, shisha, and a bunch of other stuff
Whatever price they give you, divide it by 10!!! trust me, they will price whatever it is you want to get at 100 times its cost and BARGAINING IS A MUST. big time!! Theme: Local Craft

The dimension, age, multitude of shops and goods, exotism, smell(!) and all languages you will hear buying things there.
Local hand made "things"... anyway they are copies.
In that place all of them are looking different at least.
You MUST pay at the end of the negociation half from the start price. Anyway it wil be more than it deserves :) Theme: Local Craft

usually ask for bargaining about half or 2 third of the price offered as a start.If the seller dont want to give the price that asked for,just leave the shop as the seller will call you back if they can give you the price that you ask.If not,maybe you can get it from other shop : )

Shopping in Khan El Khalili was set to be the climax of our day trip to Cairo. This was the part where we got t relax and unwind after a hard day of sightseeing. I love markets and was not disappointed by the shops and stalls lining the streets here. However, I found everything to be very expensive and my bartering skills are so rubbish that it was hardly worth bothering trying to win a bargain when the prices started so high. This was probably one of the best places in the world to try my hand at window shopping though and I did enjoy gazing longingly at silk scarfs and copper teapots even if I didn't find a bargain.

ok lets get a crash course on this exciting but daunting experience. camera? check. wallet? check. persistent shop keeper swatting device? check. lets go
ok. first, what do you want to buy? khan el khali has loads of stuff, but most shops seem to have the same stuff! good to buy here - rugs, handbags (really good copies), perfume, clothes, papryus, statues, everything!
ok, now you're ready to go. now remember these things:
1) no matter how much you bargain and haggle, you are not local, and will not get it at local prices.
2)but also remember that the prices quoted/listed are a million times more expensive than what you will get them for if you haggle.
3) you will be invited in to 'sign the guestbook' or 'take business card to help my shop and make name for me and my family' this is just a ploy to get you insie. hen they may shut you in!
4) they are great with compliments! especially to women, just dont take anything they say seriously
stuff to say:
"kalla wa shukran" no thankyou
"mafeesh fluss" i have no money
"dah ghaly" thats expensive.
if you pretend you don't really want the item you WILL get it cheap. if they see you really want it the price will be higher!
happy shopping Theme: Other
