Khan Al-Khalili Market is a market located in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, since the 14th century, when Emir Dajaharks Al-Khalili built a large market complex on the site of the Za'afran tomb, where the Fatimid rulers of Egypt were buried.

It is not only the main market in this city or country, but also the largest market in the entire African continent - its area is about 5 thousand square meters! Stone-paved narrow streets, millions of sounds, smells and colors - the whole market reminds of a fairy tale about Eastern merchants. Colorful spices, aromatic oils, sweets, leather accessories, hookahs, clothes and various trinkets are just a few of the goods that can be found at Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar. By the way, it is interesting that this market is divided into two parts: for tourists and locals. The tourist part is more refined. Here, merchants speak different languages, entice tourists, offer them sweets, willingly negotiate, and if one merchant does not have what you are looking for, he will be happy to help you find someone who will have something to offer you. There are also cafes in this part where you can watch the life of the market while sipping coffee. The part of the market intended for local residents is much simpler. Here, there is less pomp, and buyers do not stop and look at goods - they hurry to their goal.

 Khan Al-Khalili Bazaar is a real adventure in Cairo, so if you are staying in the Egyptian capital, you must visit it.
