Tourist Trap: beware imitations
  • Tip Rating:
  • the salesmen at the observation point.
    Lots of tat souvenirs are on display at a price, though bargaining will achieve a reduction . However, some of the carvings are pretty poor quality [better at Khan el Khalili], coloured onyx eggs may lose some of their colour on your hand by the time you get home. Onyx is onyx- not bright blue or red!

    At Least Do This: Look, take photos
    From the amount of stuff on sale everywhere people must be buying...
    Alternative: ...then go to Khan el khalili- or if heading that way Luxor or Alexandria to get the same without being ripped off as much.

     Egypt is an amazing country and I think you are lucky to live there. Thanks for visiting my Cairo page. Yours is wonderful and I've already put on my wish list some other places I should visit next time.
