Flea & Street Markets
What travelers are saying
- travaller60Wellington, New Zealand125 contributionsWent with my daughter to the Khan-El-Khalili which is the historic bazaar in the centre of old Cairo. It fascinating, huge and a must experience. To be honest some people made us feel a little uncomfortable, but all was good. The salespeople can be a little pushy and most of the items are cheap and I believe are imported from China. So be aware.Written March 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- karen703arlington, va279 contributionsTake your time and enjoy the superb craftsmanship. It's worth every penny of the price - and the vendors do NOT inflate their prices. This is an art form which may die out after these artisans retire.Written February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Catherine3 contributionsThis was one of the highlights during my visit to Cairo. When I read about it, I knew I had to go. It all seemed so chaotic. The camels are mainly sold for their meat so keep this in mind if you are a vegetarian. Had a driver with a guide to get there. The drive through the countryside to get there was also worth it. Ladies..take a scarf to wear, dust being kicked up everywhere.Written April 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lynx74Saint Paul, MN48 contributionssmall but worth the hike - if you are surrounded by bullet bras and pre-packaged blankets you are not there yet. Keep moving - also there's a great local market stretch that's fun to walk through and buy some Egyptian pretzels and enjoyWritten January 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
