Khan el Khalili: The right place for shopping

  • This shopping area consists of numerous shops selling clothes, spices, perfumes, souvenirs and many more. It is like a big maze and it is easy to get lost. The shop owners would try their best to sell you something, but it is better to check with some other shops and bargain before buying.

    Well, what can i say...It was extremely busy here as it was ramadam and everyone was out to eat. Everyone seemed to be having a good time though!

    I must admit though, i was a bit daunted by it being so crowded. We pratically got dropped off by a coach and told to meet back at the same place in an hour. We wondered round, but the alleys were so inclosed and with many people trying to get you into shops and staring, i didnt feel comfortable. I soon went back to the meeting place, amongst many others who found it a bit much. There was women shoving babies in our faces asking for money and small boys asking to clean shoes, i felt sorry for them.

    It is a good place to shop as it sells all sorts of Egyptian charm, so if your after a bargain, then this is the place to do it.

    If your not bothered by this sort of thing then its worth while going! But i'd stick in a group, you'd feel much more relaxed and be able to enjoy your time here.

    Khan el Khalili: Cheap cheap cheap!

  • Yes cheap n good shopping here! Tip is to bargain e prices like way down e quoted prices.. e colorful beaded headdress goes for like 10-15 pounds...e perfume glasses in set of fives abt 25pounds (not those made of glass but of better quality).. fridge magnets abt 2 for 20 pounds.. e set of 3 pyramids abt 10 - 15 pounds.. e scarf goes for 10 pounds..10 bracelets or 10 bookmarks for USD1...

    Also u can alwaz get a rough guide of e prices here n when u r travelling to say sharm el sheik or aswan etc n e shop keepers quote u a higher price.. juz tell them that u bot those at a cheaper price eg 15 pounds in cairo n they'll automatically lower their prices coz well ... they know u know e market price!

    but do bear in mind dat they r not rich to begin with so do not go down too hard on e prices! have fun shopping!
