I don’t know how many of you have visited Egypt, but one place you really must go in Cairo is the ‘Khan El Khalili Souk’. Here you’ll find a huge bazaar selling everything from mammoth sheesha to exquisite pieces of silverware and embroidered cashmere throws.
We went shopping earlier and picked up some stuff for the new place and some gifts for relatives;

amazing. this is so beautiful. is this like for decoration or a jewelery?
I have been to KhanKhaili many times, its soo cool there and they do have all sorts of stuff there? Do you go to the bazaars near the Husaan Musque, those are cool also. I should post some of the stuff I bought from Khankhaili, and its sooooooo cheap also.
Let me ask you something else, where is your new place at? What city?
