The Khan El-Khalili is one of the most interesting bazaars, not only in Egypt, but also in the Middle East.
It was named after Prince Jaharkas Al-Khalili, who was one of the powerful
Mamluke Princes in the 14th century. It is famous for its unusual, typically oriental souvenirs, and handmade crafts. The Medieval atmospheres of this traditional market, together with the labyrinth layout of the streets, gives visitors o lot of pleasure and a glimpse into what medieval markets once were like.
Cafes, restaurants, shops, and large number
of vendors and buyers constitute a dynamic
panorama of the place. Drinking Hibiscus,
Karakare, Helba, or any of the various
typical Egyptian beverages, is a pleasant
experience for visitors and guests to get a
real taste experience. For smokers, there is
the Shisha, or water pipe, to be tried.
Every visitor can take the opportunity to
safely enjoy the walk through the narrow
streets of Khan El-Khalili.
We strongly recommend visiting this vivid
bazaar, but keep in mind that in open
traditional markets, the prices are not
fixed; remember to bargain (haggle) to get
the best price. The Khan El-Khalili Bazaar
is place where art and commerce come
together to give a unique and remarkable,
harmonious experience.
