Aswan Shopping Tips by MalenaN

The street for shopping in Aswan is as-Souq Saad Zaghlou, going south from the square in front of the train station. Here you can find shops selling typical Egyptian and Nubian souvenirs like T-shirts, painted papyrus (or banana leaves), sheeshas, jewellery and baskets. There are also shops with a big choice of spices.

For the water in Aswan I paid 2 pounds for 1,5 litres (in Dahab I had paid 1,5 pounds and later I paid 1,25 pounds in Siwa). Couldn’t find it cheaper anywhere, but many shops sold it for more.

On as-Souq Saad Zaghlou I bought nice falafels for 50 piasters. They are quite small so two can be good to buy if you are very hungry.
