Khan el-Khalili is a historic bazaar built during the Fatimid era, and one of the oldest and most famous markets in the entire Middle East.
What to buy: spices, silver and gold jewelry, brass lanterns, perfumes, and papyrus pieces and souvenirs.
Al-Hussein Mosque: a large mosque right next to the market, one of the area's most important religious sites.
El Fishawy Café: a historic coffeehouse running for over 200 years — a classic stop for tea or coffee amid the market's atmosphere.
Bargaining tip: the first price quoted is almost always negotiable — don't hesitate to politely haggle, it's part of the genuine shopping experience there.
Best time to visit: evenings have a livelier atmosphere with better lighting and energy, while mornings suit calmer, less crowded shopping.
Getting there and waiting: the area's streets are narrow and busy, so a private car with a waiting driver is far easier than trying to find transport from the same spot afterward.
