Though not strictly an archeological site, Khan-el-Khalili has been the heartbeat of Cairo since the medieval times. The wealth of Cairo was built on trade, and caravans from all over Africa and Asia disgorged their cargoes for sale at the numerous bazaars that make up Khan-El-Khalili. Much of that medieval atmosphere still survives among the narrow covered passageways where you can join throngs of Cairenes to bargain over spices and perfume oils, gold and silver jewellery, leather goods and fabrics.
I am born and brought up in Cairo. I create this page to provide up-to-date information of archeological sites in Egypt. I studied at the American University in Cairo. I also have my own tour agency: Egypt Classic Tours . If you have any questions, please welcome to email: ask4request@gmail.com
