Where should college students go when traveling to Cairo? The hustle and bustle of Khan El-Khalili Market!

Cairo is a particularly fragmented city. I can find the instant sense of an international metropolis at CTC, and also feel the dirt and disorder of the old city area around Khan El-Khalili Market. If you are a college student, I highly recommend you to visit here for three reasons: ~ REASONS 1️⃣ Broaden Horizons: You can see people in different states under different living conditions. It will give you new insights and definitions for life choices after graduation. 2️⃣ Cost-effective Shopping: Most people come here to shop for bargains, and it's perfect for college friends who need to bring some souvenirs. I recommend choosing shops with clearly marked prices for real savings. 3️⃣ It might be too crowded for parents, and too noisy for office workers who rarely get a rest, so it's most suitable for students. 4️⃣ For taxis, use the international version of Didi or Uber. Tests show that Didi is a bit cheaper. If a driver asks for extra money in a private message, cancel and switch to another one. As long as you allow enough time, you won't give them an opportunity to take advantage. 5️⃣ Carry more 5EGP and 10EGP change with you, as some might not give you change even if they have it. That's when you need to be exact. 6️⃣ Always use Egyptian pounds in cash wherever possible. Not only is the black market exchange rate better, but the denomination of the currency is smaller, which can save a lot. Cairo is still okay without hot air balloons, wait until Luxor with hot air balloons, and then I'll talk about how to save money. 7️⃣ Always record the price negotiations for activities and itineraries, and clarify the total amount of money. They often switch concepts and tell you how much per person when you get off. Just give what you owe and walk away. 8️⃣ I have encountered situations where the driver asked for a price increase before getting off. Usually, I let my companion get off first and take all the luggage down, then pretend not to understand and drag it out. Until all the luggage is moved, I then say I have no money. Once, a driver tried to snatch my phone, but luckily there was nothing left in his car, so I turned around and left gracefully, not indulging any nonsense! 9️⃣ Go to the shops with clearly marked prices in Khan El-Khalili Market, otherwise start bargaining at 10% of the asking price. Jordi's shop has clear pricing, which is more worry-free. Go there, buy, and leave; automatically block out other hawkers. - Mr. Daqi | Unlock more travel experiences with you Travel | Food | Hotels | Homestays | Good Stuff If you want to know something, feel free to chat
