Beste tid å besøke
Go early, around 9–11am, for cooler temperatures and fewer hawkers; late afternoon offers lively lights and café atmosphere but heavier crowds.
Budsjettips
No entry fee and no official passes; most transactions are cash, bargaining is expected so compare several stalls and start about 30–50 percent below the asking price.

Om
Raske fakta: Wandering down maze-like lanes you'll encounter a riot of gleaming brass lamps, piles of fragrant spices, and artisans hammering silver amid a chorus of voices. Expect haggling to feel like a friendly ritual rather than a chore, with many stalls still run by the same families for generations and bargains often sealed over a cup of sweet tea.
Høydepunkter: Wander down a narrow lane where a single brass workshop has hammered lanterns for over 120 years, the metal flashing gold under oil lamps while the air mixes dust, jasmine and the bitter bite of strong cardamom coffee. Locals still use a playful haggling ritual: a seller quotes a round number like 50 Egyptian pounds, pours you a tiny glass of hibiscus or mint tea, then lowers the price coin by coin as you sip, turning negotiation into a shared slow ceremony.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, alleys are narrow and surfaces uneven.
- Dress modestly when visiting nearby mosques, keep shoulders and knees covered.
- Ask permission before photographing people or shop interiors, offer a small tip if a vendor poses.
- Skip the busiest main-entrance stalls, walk deeper into side alleys for better prices and authentic crafts.
