Khan el-Khalili Markets: Khan el-Khalili Markets Khan el Khalili Review

Yet another amazing experience we had in Cairo was a visit Khan el-Khalili markets.

These markets are a labyrinth of streets and lanes with shops selling everything from tacky souvenirs to gold and silver, clothing, antiques and pretty much anything else you can think of.

I was feeling game, so browsed the markets by myself. I made many new friends as I shopped - even got a marriage proposal or two - and saw so many great things to buy that it was too hard to decide and I didn't buy anything.

Meanwhile, Alex was sitting in the famous El-Fishawi Cafe sipping a Turkish coffee and puffing a shisha.

The markets are crazy, busy, crowded, noisy, fabulous!

What to pay: Better bring your bargaining skills with you!!
