Egypt Markets
In nearly all districts of Egypt, local markets are located away from tourist bazaars such as Khan El Khalili in Cairo and Luxor, Aswan, Sharm el Sheik, and Hurghada tourist bazaars. Local markets are available. These local markets are interesting places for the purchase of fruits, vegetables, and cotton products at very low prices.
The Tawfikeya Market, for example, is in downtown Cairo, close to 26 July Street. The shops and street suppliers in the area open until the early morning hours and almost all are sold. The Friday market held near the citadel on Friday, Friday afternoon, and Friday prayer are other interesting examples.
