I went here not to buy anything, but to be a spectator. It's a perfect representation of the Cairo market experience. It's loud, it's packed with people, the shop owners barking for your attention, and getting around is made difficult by the sheer number of people, cars, and motorcycles. But it's great to see and experience once in your life. It's a bit on the crazy side, but if you go with that expectation, you shouldn't be overwhelmed.

If you want to buy an Old or musical instrument, this is the place. There is lots of the same old tourist stuff here, but also some traditional items for tourists if you have the time and energy to look. It is giant and it is hugely crowded at night. There is a great restaurant Zeeyara at the only hotel in the suq.

You can find everything. The largest and most dispersed bazaar I have ever visited before. Si trova di tutto. Il bazar più grande e dispersivo mai visitato prima d'ora.

Very crowded market selling local artefacts and gift items. If you're looking for things to gift to people then it's worth a visit, otherwise avoidable. Crowds are generally less in the morning around 11 am.

Visiting this very extensive street flea market with a group one evening.. it is organised chaos. Huge number of narrow streets filled with a variety of vendors trying to sell their wares. Some are extremely pushy. You cannot just browse or they will pounce! Worth a visit but pretty chaotic!

The colossal Khan Al-Khalili bazaar in Cairo feels like a small city, its streets transformed into a trading area for trivialities. Admittedly, it's exotic and foreign in a bustling way, so a visit can be recommended if you enjoy strolling around, feeling the Arabic bazaar atmosphere, and browsing without buying anything. The merchants all try to catch your interest, but they happily smile when you shake your head. No pressure here. As a tourist attraction, the bazaar honestly seems a bit overrated.

I guess you have to do it and we did it in the evening. Nothing there for us to buy…..like a lot of the Egyptian markets we went to…..they had a lot of souvenirs made in China. It is a spectacle and the historic buildings are interesting to see. ….we tried to absorb the history. We had dinner at the Zeeyara Rooftop Restaurant and enjoyed a typical Egyptian meal.

Amazing. I guess there is nothing one cannot find in rhis market. All you need is patience, plenty of it and enough time. Shop after shop after shop. Fantastic. Will definitely need to come back soon.

I would recommend going to the bazaar not only to shop, but to see a way of life. Although the information says it opens at 9:30, very few stalls are open at that time. We left around 1:30- probably a better time to go. Wander around. Drink coffee and enjoy the surroundings. It's dirty. It's noisy. The vendors will haggle and be mad if you do not buy from them. Find a rooftop Cafe. Try the street goods. Prices are decent- quality is questionable! Enjoy!

Do watch out for your bags here. Almost all pickpockets happen in the market. I didn't buy anything from the market itself since my local guide told me everything in the markets got imported from China and I get to buy them cheaper on Ali Express. But I do recommend the local coffee shops, I loved the coffee and the tea and the authentic Mango juice and also definitely try their cheese pizza.
