The Grand Bizarre was awesome with many shops featuring locally made items. Jewelry, lamps, and quality made clothing and gifts were plentiful at good prices. Our guide, Feruza was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and very personable…I highly recommend her for private tour!

En el mercado egipcio me pareció un lugar espectacular para todos los amantes de la gastronomía, uno puede encontrar ahí todos los tipos de especies que se pueden combinar en las comidas, si le gusta la comida condimentada no pueden no pasar por ahí
