Shopping in Cairo

The Mall of Egypt in 6th of October City is a modern mega-mall whose headline attraction is Ski Egypt — Egypt's first indoor ski slope, where visitors can ski, snowboard and play with penguins under artificial snow. Beyond the novelty of skiing in the Sahara, the mall houses 350+ stores, a cinema complex and a food court spanning Egyptian, Lebanese and international cuisines..

Souq al-Fustat is a modern handicraft market in Old Cairo, purpose-built to showcase traditional Egyptian crafts and provide a cleaner, calmer shopping experience than the chaotic Khan El-Khalili.

The Street of the Tentmakers (Sharia al-Khayamiya) is the last remaining covered market street in Cairo, famous for its spectacularly colourful appliqué textile work unique to Egyptian craft tradition.
