Aswan souq at night (bad photo!)

Name of Shop: Aswan Souq

The Aswan Souq (market) is a great place to practice your bartering.

This market is located mainly on one long street (around 2 kms long) a couple of blocks back from the river, and it seems to continue on forever - shop after shop of tempting wares....and shop after shop of vendors trying to coax you over for a closer look!

It is a really colourful market - particularly so because of the numerous shops selling spices and bright purple indigo powder.

What To Pay: Never pay the asking price - be brave and barter hard!
