A retreat from the sun in summer, in milder winter temperatures it's even easier to lose a day wandering this this sprawling market. It exudes a truly amazing atmosphere with its labyrinth of bustling alleys lined with merchants displaying traditional crafts. Most of the shop fronts conceal cramped workshops, where craftsmen still produce lanterns, inlaid boxes, waterpipes and brassware using traditional techniques. Beware though, merchants here are masters at the art of haggling, and even the locals joke that they can never get local prices. Stop in to have your quick meal at Naguib Mahfouz. Cash is definitely preferred here, but some vendors accept credit cards.
