Cairo Deals – Visit Al-Qhirah; The Triumphant City
October 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Cairo is most certainly one of the most popular tourist destinations for international travellers. The very idea of Cairo deals activates the imagination of people of all cultures from near and far.
al-Q?hirah is the capital city of Egypt and therefore also the administrative centre, it is also a massive centre for business, but this is not the tourists main concern. They don’t visit Cairo to see how the government and business works, they visit to see the Great Pyramids of Giza, Cairo Museum, Muslim Monuments, Christian Churches, the City of the Dead, Sphinx’, the street markets and the Heliopolis.
Virtually every monument you would wish to se is situated close to the edge of Cairo, it is a city of the most fantastic ancient and modern culture. It is also one of the largest and liveliest cities in the world so accommodation in hotels is designed to impress. Of course it all depends on the travelers budget, not everyone can stretch to the budget of the Fours Seasons or Marriot, but no matter what your budget, you will be comfortably accommodated.
The world famous “Khan El Khalili” souk (bazaar), which is pretty much still the same as it was in the fourteenth century is a shopping experience like none other. It’s situated right in the centre of Cairo and is very accessible and more than welcomes tourists as it’s primary trade.
This market is a fantastic place to purchase the various treasures of the East in true trading style.
There’s nothing like a cup of good tea at The Khan El Khalili Souk, under the hot Egyptian sun. Traditional Egyptian products abound: Glassware, leather-work, including the most beautiful sandals, perfume (fit for the Pharaoh’s harem, laffa (which leaves an after-taste on your pallet, from the next world), carpets that you just want to walk on at the sight of them, “secret herbs” to cure various ailments, “secret herbs” for cosmetic use, clothing, and so, so much more.
