This family's experience:

Activities: We strolled through the Egyptian Bazaar (Spice Market) for hours. We bought lots of small souvenirs and sat down to have tea. We found everything there: birds, plants, toys, delicious pistachios, pretty hammam towels

Highlights: We preferred it to the Grand Bazaar. It was really animated. The article says: "We preferred it to the Grand Bazaar, where too many jewelry stores succeed each other." ✨
