Cairo - Bazaar Quarter

The Bazaar Quarter, with its large bazaars (Arabic suq) and teeming mass of humanity, has an abundance of novelty and interest to offer the visitor.

Before you go shopping in the bazaar it is well to have some idea in advance of the level of prices for the goods you are interested in. It is normal to haggle, for the seller will always set his first price high enough to leave room for a substantial reduction.
