William NgMay 14, 2019Huge bazaar selling all sorts of items : food stuff, spices, costume jewellery, souvenirs, lights, lamps, pots and pans, ceramic, precious stones, clothes, textiles, etc. Locals and tourists come here
Majed AlashariNovember 19, 2019Cairo old downtown. Many shops that sell everything’s. Many restaurants & cafes that serve local food. Nice to visit it before sunset as it becomes different at night.
Hana FelembanAugust 23, 2018Downtown Flea Market, you can find a lot of authentic art work, clothes and leather bags too 👍🏼
AbdulNovember 27, 2023Located in a traditional hub of local shops, tea houses, and shisha cafes, this bustling area is known for its lively atmosphere and music. Be cautious of pickpockets!
AFNANSeptember 2, 2019It’s better on the evening but you have to keep in mind that it’s very crowded and there’s lots of cats and people begging for money, an uber will never arrive, best to take taxi with meter.
Amir UncoversDecember 14, 2022Unroofed bazaar in the old streets and alleys of Cairo; shops full of spices, ouds, souvenirs usually Sino-made and different restaurants. Needs several hours for a good walk around.
DaliaDecember 18, 2012If you'll buy something you'll need to lower their prices and be firm as they'll take advantage, aside from that its lovely to walk around. Ps. Be careful of your belongings
Sharm Club ExcursionsJanuary 30, 2017It is a very nice place for oriental shopping and a street with many Islamic monuments, mosques and unique buildings. Read more
Omar ElshimyNovember 30, 2013Go shopping, eat some Fitir and have an unforgatable Ahwa experience. You'll be taking a lot of amazing pictures. Enjoy the old Egyptian taste.
Max GodoiOctober 2, 2023Chaotic and interesting, it reminds me of the city center of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo together hahaha, speaking of SP, it is like at 25 March Street here!
L HansOctober 15, 2014The most amazing place in Cairo! A must-visit! Go there in the evening, because the lighting it's so beautiful!
Nabeel AlsadoonDecember 22, 2019A historical area with Coptic, Islamic and Arab architecture, containing shops selling heritage and handicrafts.

Elie NaggarDecember 13, 2018Old Egyptian market and a great place to buy souvenirs. Be sure to negotiate the price before buying!
MedellinStyle.com GMIDNovember 14, 2012BE CAREFUL EVRYONE HERE DOUBLES THE PRICE. THEY START DEALING WITH THE DOUBLE PRICE SO WHEN YOU GOT 30 40% YOU FEEL LIKE A MASTER BUT ITS BULLSHIT! Old cairo hallways are very worth architecture visit
BassamFebruary 1Morning walk here is amazing. Ignore people asking to enter. Always bargain before buying.
Abrar Al-MahfoodhDecember 20, 2018You can find a lot of good stuff here. But you need to learn how to haggle
One of the oldest and largest bazaars in the Arab world. A must-visit place in Cairo!
Fuyuhiko TakayaOctober 5, 2019Around the area, many shops sell Islamic products especially lamps are impressive.
Nataly Cnyrim-KimmelJuly 29, 2013No visit to Cairo is complete without a stop at the old Arab souk of Khan el Khalili. When your shopping's done, dont miss out on a traditional cup of tea at the famous Fishawi's cafe.
Bassel HelalMarch 28, 2018Warm atmosphere and lighting that you are going to fall in love with at night!
Wayer AminOctober 13, 2014Bargain well! Not all stuffs are overpriced. Have tea and Turkish coffee at el Feshawy. Meals however are pricey!! Visit al-Hoseiny and al-Azhar mosques...- Elie NaggarDecember 4, 2018Old Egyptian market where you can buy souvenirs ! Negotiate the price before buying !
Mizna KkMarch 24, 2019Mixed feelings about this place it’s a love hate kinda thing but with plenty of charm- Bassem HelalMarch 2, 2018Get ready with your money and for the long amazing walk across the Egyptian Islamic history.
Hana BakMarch 18, 2016Nothing changed I've been here 13 years ago and as if it was yesterday crowded, unclean and full with street vendors.
H HumadiFebruary 7, 2017You need a guidance to show you the area when you first visit. The street could be quite confusing. Despite all that, walking around there is priceless
Abdulwahed AlromaihJune 6, 2014Feshawi cafe level dropped a lot.. I remember this being one of the top shisha spots around the world- CAugust 26, 2019Sometimes the fixed price shops give a lower price than the rest. Bargain and haggle the prices please.
Leena NDecember 19, 2017Feshawi is a must! Other than that I felt Khan was too hectic not worth the hassle
