Old Cairo Bazaar

Market

👍 Much nicer bazaar then the big ones. No high pressure sales people begging you for sales. Many of the shops do price items which is fantastic. Be sure to buy from them instead of ones who don't price items. They do this just to rip off the tourists...be warned. Only about 1 block of stores. Situat...

    Much nicer bazaar then the big ones. No high pressure sales people begging you for sales. Many of the shops do price items which is fantastic. Be sure to buy from them instead of ones who don't price items. They do this just to rip off the tourists...be warned. Only about 1 block of stores. Situated in the middle is the Old Cario Cafe and Restuarant which is a great stop for a quick bite or more.

    Some really cool things to look at. Don't be scared to try to bargain. I know a lot of it is over priced but it was a good time.

    Nice area to walk. My tour guide was very thorough and I should have recalled what she was telling me, but I can't right now. I love to views and the stories

    Sells the usual overpriced tourist junk. Do not buy any drinks from the cafes here, it's four times the normal price you could get from any corner store elsewhere in Cairo.

    Very interesting Coptic area. Several churches, graves. Hanging church and the place where Mary, Jesus and Joseph fled to Egypt, cafes and shops. The Metro stop is Mar Girgis and is right by this quiet area

    If you don’t want to be swamped with endless $1 per item offer… what a nice little market. Friendly little Tourist Info Kiosk. Free WC’s that are not great. But free. Some handmade products that stand out from the Grand Bazaar. Overall a nice experience.

👍👍 El Ataba is a MASSIVE market and where the locals shop. Don't expect to see other tourists here. I was first overwhelmed by the noise, chaos and shouting (all tourism markets are harmless compared to that) and then asked around, was directed to and then spent hours in the fabric section (Tarpea area...

😐 It is an excellent option to have fast lunch or dinner, it is Middle East style food and is reasonably good, prices are low in general. Taste is good, yet the place is mall and crowded but taking the food away is possible. It is a very good option to choose for daily meals. Recommendable.
