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.
