Khan Al Khalili

The soukiest souk.

After our little cruise around the River Nile, we headed to Khan Al Khalili. Khan Al Khalili is a giant souk (or market or bazaar, your choice!). Vendors of all kinds line the edges of the streets where it is a pedestrian only zone.

All types of products are on display ranging from tacky pyramid souvenirs to items your typical Egyptian would be out to purchase. Plenty of men abound so single (and married) ladies beware… unless you like that sort of thing. (That sort of thing being marriage proposals…Molly loves it!)

I later read that this souk is known as one of the best in the Middle East. I’m not flat out disagreeing… but wondering if maybe we explored a less-amazing corner of the market?

We shopped until I dropped (not too hard) and had dinner in one of the restaurants. Highlights of the meal include Hannah breaking a plate with an untouched serving of food still on it, the cute stray cats visiting us, and the selection of “Pizza Taune” on the menu. For the record, I would have ordered you, Taune… but I wasn’t sure if you were vegetarian. Hee…
