Cairo Shopping Tour
Tour description: Cairo Shopping Tour
Cairo's Khan el-Khalili market has been trading since 1382, and in six centuries very little has changed. The same narrow alleyways, the same jeweller-craftsmen, the same traders in spices and aromatic oils. Bargaining here is not just permitted - it is expected. It is local etiquette, part of the culture. Quoting the full asking price is considered disrespectful to tradition.
The tour combines shopping with culture. Along the way you see Cairo's historic centre, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali on the Mokattam cliff with a panoramic view of the city, and the quarter of the coppersmiths. Your guide helps you navigate prices, advises on what to buy and where, and can negotiate on your behalf when needed. Lunch at a genuine Egyptian restaurant, no tourist markup.
Egyptian pounds in cash are best for bargaining. Bring a spacious bag for your purchases.
For all group tours, a white Toyota minibus collects guests - round-trip hotel transfer is included in the price.

Tourist reviews: Cairo Shopping Tour
I came specifically for the shopping and genuinely had no idea how comfortable it would be. We went straight to the malls and didn't waste time on unnecessary stops. What I loved was that nobody makes you walk around as a group - you can wander, browse and try things on at your own pace. The shops are enormous and the choice is huge. I bought everything I planned to and then some. The journey is long but absolutely worth it. A very productive and comfortable day.
Brilliant format, especially if you're not in the mood for a classic sightseeing tour. I nearly booked the Pyramids but went for shopping instead and have no regrets. Massive malls, all modern, air-conditioned, cafes everywhere - you could happily spend the whole day. The flexible format works really well - part of our group went to the Pyramids and then we all met up again. The journey is tiring but everything is very well organised. If you love shopping, this is a no-brainer.
I came specifically for the shopping and Cairo did not disappoint. Mall of Egypt is enormous - there is literally everything there. I came home with some fantastic things at prices far lower than back home. We also stopped at the Pyramids on the way - the views are spectacular. The guide helped us navigate the malls and pointed us in the right direction. Long journey but worth every minute if you love shopping.
Great format - we saw the Pyramids and did a proper shop all in one day. The Pyramids blew me away - I stood right next to them and still couldn't quite believe they were built 4,500 years ago. We spent about three hours in Mall of Egypt and bought loads. Everything was well organised, the coach was comfortable. If you want to combine sightseeing with shopping, this is the best option.
