Khan El Khalili Tour
Khan El Khalili
Khan El Khalili
There’s absolutely nothing in Cairo like exploring the enormous shopping labyrinth of Khan El Khalili, the city’s largest souk (market) that has preserved much of its original structure since its days as a famous medieval bazaar. Tourists and Egyptians alike arrive at this densely populated maze of streets and alleyways to find all sorts of gifts, including Egyptian antiques, fine handmade crafts and spices.
Khan El khalili How To reach!
It’s
not a terribly far walk from Downtown Cairo, but the easiest way to get to Khan
El Khalili is by taxi from Ataba or Tahrir Square.
Khan El khalili What
To Buy?!
There
are lots of treasures in Khan El Khalili that make great gifts. Be on the
lookout for alabaster pyramids and statues.There are also several shops that
sell quaint jewellery boxes, backgammon and chess boards made with mother of
pearl designs.
There
are several stores that sell Egyptian antiques, including lighting fixtures,
movie posters and old books.
I recommended you
to buy Horus Eye Bracelet.See customer reviews below :-
El
Fishawy Café
Shopping
in Khan El Khalili can be exhausting and overly stimulating. If all of the
shopping has left you weary, and you’re looking for a nice mint tea and apple
shisha, El Fishawy Café is just the place to do that. Open 24
hours a day, seven days a week for the past 250 years, this mirror-laden
alleyway café has hosted dozens of notables including Egyptian literary legend
Naguib Mahfouz. During the evenings, you might see oud players, poetry readings
or women offering henna tattoos.
~Enjoy~
