REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
If you are heading to Cairo for a vacation or even a work trip, find some time to visit the markets. This city is not just about pyramids and history. It also has some of the best shopping spots you can think of.
Whether you are looking for some actual designer items, high-quality knockoffs, or just want to see what it has to offer, you are definitely in for a treat. Here are some must-visit spots for shoppers.
Khan El Khalili is famous and a must-see for anyone visiting Cairo. The winding streets filled with shops selling everything from jewellery and clothes to spices and souvenirs are just but some of the reasons why.
You can find fake designer bags, watches, and scarves here, all at very affordable prices. The best part is that you can haggle to get even better deals. Make sure to also take your time and explore all the little alleyways, as you never know what hidden gem you might find.
Next up is Attaba Market, a local favourite. This market is a bit more laid-back than Khan El Khalili, making it a great spot to shop like a local. Here, you will find a mix of clothing, accessories, and electronics.
The fake designer items here are usually good quality, so you can grab a trendy piece without breaking the bank. Don’t forget to also look for traditional Egyptian clothes like galabeyas. They make for perfect souvenirs or gifts.
If you are up for an adventure, head to Souq El Gomaa. This market is only open on Fridays and is a treasure trove of second-hand items and fake goods. You can find everything from clothes to furniture and even antiques. It is a bit chaotic compared to other similar places, but that is just part of the experience.
The atmosphere is lively, with vendors shouting out their deals and customers bargaining for the best price. If you are a fan of thrift shopping, this is your paradise too. Just be ready to dig through piles of stuff to find the best.
If you want a break from the chaos, head on to City Stars Mall. This mall has a section for designer goods, including knock-off designer clothing and accessories. It is a more comfortable shopping experience, with air conditioning and clean spaces.
If you are tired of the heat outside, this is a nice place to relax and shop. And, you can find many cafes and restaurants here to refuel after your shopping spree.
To get the best experience and the best deals in these markets, make sure to explore every area, especially the seemingly small shops and alleyways, as these always have the most unique finds.
Don't be shy to bargain for better deals and always check the quality of the items before buying. Some fake goods can be of excellent quality, while others may not last long, and you want to get the best value for your money.
