Egypt can rightfully be termed as shopper’s paradise with its exquisite carpets, typical Egyptian historical reproductions and artifacts, papyrus wall hangings, dates and dry fruits, spices and prayer beads, colourful fabric and clothes, fabulous jewellery.

Although the cities have their own bazaars, but the most famous  is the Khan-el- Khalili in Cairo. The place has a long tradition of connoisseurship in collectibles and there is always the possibility of finding a real gem. Bargaining is the best way to get your way through the market.  This trip is not just a shopping experience – savour the flavours of a different world. 

At the more sophisticated shopping malls you can shop in the comfort of an air conditioner and pick up wall hangings and the famous Egyptian rugs and carpets among other things.

Shopping hours – 
Summers : 9 am to 12.30 pm and then 4 pm to 8 pm Saturdays through Thursdays.
Winters : 9 am to 7 pm daily
