Khan-el-Khalili Market

For unusual and bizarre gifts,you just may want to try your luck at the famous El Khalili Market. Briming with souvenirs and handmade crafts, the shops are set up on a labyrinth of streets, which gives visitors an idea of how medieval markets once felt. Gold and silver, vases and rugs are common items sold by the vendors. Like many markets of this sort, the prices are not set - don't forget to bargain your way down!

There are also lots of restaurant, cafes, and shops in the area if the endless tables of merchandise becomes too overwhelming.

If you want a traditionally Oriental experience, try drinking Hibiscus, Karakare or Helba. For smokers, there is the Shisha, or water pipe, to be tried.
