Khan El Khalili

Khan el-Khalili is one of Cairo's most famous and historic bazaars, and it's a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the city. The bazaar can get crowded, so it's a good idea to arrive early because it gets very crowded. They sell alot of stuff including jewelry, textiles, spices, traditional clothing, antiques, home decor, and souvenirs. Bargaining is common, so be prepared to negotiate prices with the shopkeepers. Do keep some cash because most of them won't accept any cards. It's a very busy place so keep an eye on your belongings. And don't be suprised if they cat-call you all the time.

Papyrus

If you want to buy some real papyrus a recommended place is "Golden Eagle Papyrus". Sometimes they also give a great explanation about how papyrus is made. This is a great souvenir to take home and hang it somewhere in your home.
