Khan El-Khalili Bazaar Egypt

All souvenirs, oils, carpets, leather goods and more can be found at the Khan El-Khalili Bazaar in Cairo.  If you are going to travel around the country you will be wise to leave all shopping until you get to this bazaar as you are going to end up paying much more for the souvenirs and gifts in touristics towns and cities.

However be aware that you will not find the best quality goods at the market.  It is good for souvenirs and gifts and you might also find rare treasures that will be worth buying, but for leather and carpets for instance rather go to reputable shops.

Be prepared to haggle in a friendly manner.  It is a tradition to haggle and dealers do not expect you to pay the first asking price.
