Great place for gifts and souvenirs. It is a large bazaar and has more than one entrance. You can enter on the food court side, and that is khan el-khalili, with unique affordable Egyptian type souvenirs. Enter on the mosque side of the street and it is called El Hussein mall wiith different stuff, clothes, costume jewelry,and other trinkets. Enter from the back near at bridge, you will find spices and housewares, totally different things it is a really large area and may be where the locals shop. I discovered this entrance going with a local. There is also a fourth entrance where nothing but T-shirts and magnets and the traditional souvenir stuff is sold. In this bazaar you can find anything you want. Prepare to spend hours there. I went on more than one occasion. . Evening is the best time to go, it was open until 2am when I was there. We went in June around 8pm and stayed til closing.

The biggest sensory overload, but it’s so worth it! The selection, prices (in the non-touristy part of it) and the beauty of the souk is amazing! It’s definitely worth the experience.

The market is so old fashion from the building and how local traders hawking their wares. However this is as what we are looking for for traveler from another country to visit and buy stuffs from local handcrafter and specialty. Everything is so cheap and the people are so kind🥰 Love this market so much. ❤

If you love Ancient Market then it is a must visit. Market is full of small small shops selling Egyptian history (souvenirs). It is a bargaining paradise. On top of it some local made craft and jewellery is on display. Good cafe's with some royal seating. You will find multiple mosques and small historical places in between. Overall a stroll through this market will keep your mind healthy and happy.

I visited during Ramadan, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively and vibrant, bustling with energy even at midnight, feeling like it was only evening. Everyone was enjoying themselves, with numerous Sheesha places offering good food. The entire street was adorned with colorful decorations and various lighting arrangements.
