Shisha, or hookah as it is commonly known, is a water pipe that is sold in a variety of shops across the nation.

Since there are many different cultures in Egypt, there are many different types of clothing available there. Some of these, like hats, are still worn today, while others are not. A Nubian hat is one style of hat that plenty of tourists purchase as mementos. These are still worn by Nubian men and were discovered in Nubia close to the city of Aswan during our Aswan day tours. Additionally, you can find them in Cairo's bazaars.

Popular Egypt Markets for Souvenirs Shopping:

It makes sense to expect to find markets and souqs in the tourist destinations you visit on your Egypt luxury tours, but the country also boasts well-known shopping destinations that visitors frequently request to see. Let's take a look at the best souvenir marketplaces in Egypt.

 

Market in Khan El Khalil
Tourists frequently wish to include Khan El Khalili on their itineraries for day trips to Cairo. Even a simple stroll down Khan El Khalili Street is enjoyable. The street is lined with stores that provide colourful hookahs, belly-dancing costumes, and miniature statues of Egyptian monarchs and deities. Enjoy your shopping tour in Cairo, and don't forget to stop by the Al Fishawy cafe for a set.

Aswan market
During Aswan day tours, you will enjoy shopping in this lovely and serene city. The inhabitants of Aswan are happy and constantly welcome Egypt. There are stores and shops everywhere in Aswan, but the Aswan Souq has a distinctive atmosphere. Before departing Aswan, request that our tour guide take you there during one of your Egypt classic tours.

 Luxor Bazar
You can end your journey at Aswan and go to Luxor for the day, or the other way around. The Nile River can also be enjoyed by taking your Egypt Nile cruise tours to Luxor. As soon as you step inside Luxor Bazaar, you'll start to smell the spices that go into the delectable Egyptian cuisine as well as the aroma of oud-scented aroma oils. You can also get leather goods with good quality and reasonable costs, like wallets, bags, and shoes.

Naama Bay- Sharm el sheikh
Visit the most pleasant region of Egypt, where Sharm El Sheikh is the best location for diving and water sports. Because it resembles Sharm El Sheikh day tours, the shopping there has a distinct flavour. To purchase sea snails, seashells, and home decor that embodies Sharm El Sheikh, wrap Naama Bay.

Siwa open market
The souvenirs are created by Bedouin women on the desert side. You can purchase handicrafts, handmade silver jewelry, and carpets during your safari tour to Siwa from Cairo. Additionally, since it's the best location for date palm and olive extraction, you can purchase dates and olive oil there. Taking a Siwa shopping tour in addition to your Egypt safari tours will be a great idea.

Purchasing Egyptian trinkets may seem straightforward, but doing so means a lot because they serve as a lasting reminder of your trip rather than being used as decor.
