Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Khan el-Khalili has been Cairo's marketplace since the 14th century, and walking in without a guide usually means paying tourist prices and missing the good stuff.
On this private tour your guide takes you through the bazaar's maze of alleys to the workshops and stalls worth your time: hand-beaten copper and brass, blown glass, inlaid boxes, spices, perfume oils, and cotton. You learn how to tell handmade from imported, what a fair price actually is, and how to bargain without stress, because your guide does the translating. A glass of tea at El Fishawy, the cafe that has poured since 1797, comes recommended.
There is no pressure to buy anything. Snacks and hotel transfers are included.

Khan Al-Khalili
You step into the bazaar where merchants have traded since the 1300s, and the senses load up fast: hammered copper ringing from workshops, sacks of cumin and hibiscus, the gleam of colored glass lamps. Your guide leads you past the tourist-front stalls to the artisans who still make their goods by hand, and shows you how to judge quality and settle on a fair price. There is time to sit at El Fishawy, open since 1797, for a mint tea or a Turkish coffee. Buy a lot or nothing at all; the choice stays yours.
